I'm wondering if that bomber in the background is an early B-17, or the 299 prototype.
I can see the guy in the hat as an ex-WWI fighter pilot, saying to himself about the P-36, "that's a slick little number." =)

Considering that there are Jeeps parked by the B-17s in the background, these photos were taken from 1941 onward.

Good eye. I missed the Jeep.

This is an A-6, with R 1830, so Kjeller, Norway.
They had A-8s, with R 1820s at Little Norway.
Ah! Thanks

As for the WWII Little Norway in Canada, it was at Toronto Island Airport for training RNAF crews.

Orange County Raceway?
I remember my family drove past it on the freeway, en route to seeing my brother who was in Riverside back then.

The Orange Show Speedway is a quarter mile dirt track in San Bernardino.
Riverside International Speedway was just outside of Riverside in what is now Moreno Valley. Nearby development kept encroaching on the track until it was closed in '89 and a shopping mall took over the rest of the property.
Ontario Motor Speedway was right off I-10 in Ontario, and was a major venue for Indy, NASCAR and NHRA. It was bought out in 1980 for development.

Did you ever heard of the Ontario Motor Speedway? Actually it was a copy of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in California. Here the story... CLICK

My Dad used to take me to both big tracks for events and even introduced me to Richard Petty in the pits before a NASCAR race at Riverside.
