the place known as tampa dragway was in seffner to answer the old old question from the orginal post, pretty sure my dad raced there a few times, i know he races at oldsmar though.

the timing tower used to have a picture of one of his pontiac wagons, hanging in the back of it pulling a big wheel stand.

I dig falcon based rancheros man!!! That is awesome! Thanks for posting. Is this pic taken from the track that was in Seffner?

I googled "Tampa Dragway" and found some links pointing to some of these pics here:
