Small world...
I just today came across this item from the "NHRA Bulletin Board" column in Hot Rod magazine of Nov '57. Phil was actually the first local rodder to sway me toward Pontiac V8 engines. Not long after this picture was taken, I met him and asked lots of questions about the engines- which resulted in the purchase of my first one, a '57 Tri-Power, shortly thereafter.
The races were on the Sampson AFB runway (8,000 ft?) in Romulus, but Geneva was the nearest city (10 miles?).
