Rick,
This is the picture taken from the Fabulous fifties book that SS Bob is referring to, and yes, that is the same bridge as it stands today at the Pomona Fairplex right next to the south gate entrance. I attend several events each year at Pomona and every time I park, I glance over at the bridge and can visualize in my mind the old races that took place there many years ago. The old NHRA timing tower has been moved to it's new lacation right next to that bridge. Some events still take place on a well maintained road course in the same general area as the old track, but not the same configuration.
