I have mentioned this before but I wanted now to give it a thread of it's own.
I work in Goleta close to Santa Barbara Airport and I drive by this location every day.
There is talk of widening the road and expanding the airport and I wanted to capture some of this before it disappears.
It may not mean much to most of you but this was the site of the first sanctioned drag race in the United States.
April 10th 1949.

The same bridge today and the finish line was at that change in the pavement.
