Mid America Raceway - 10-80

This stack of pictures were dated October 1980.  It doesn't have the crowds that a National usually had, so I'm guessing this really is a regional in October.  If anyone has the dates or more information, please email me.

Dave Jones exiting Turn 4. Dr. Walt Kopecky Ronnie McLean leads Walt Kopecky through Turn 1 under the bridge.
A Monza needing some help from the corner workers. Mack Yates and his Cobra in Turn 1. Corvette 22 in the pit road. Pits were a bit more crude then.
The Showroom Stock group.  We are so used to these being in IT that it is odd to think of them as new. Since SCCA used to race on airports, it is only fair to land planes on SCCA tracks.  This ultralight was piloted by a Formula Atlantic driver who had been injured several months later and not racing due to injuries.  No one said no flying. I believe this is Bernie Sunier driving Ray William's Corvette.  Not sure.
     
     

 

If you can identify any of these people, please with their names.  Thanks.
