Yeah, two satellite photos, one map photo and a nice photo of a car with a portion of one screen in the background. Where are the photos of the drive-in itself?

The dragstrip scenes in American Graffitti 2 were filmed at the Fremont Dragstrip down the street. Ironically, the drive-in was closed by then.

Update—A new shopping center is now on the drive-in site.

The Nimitz was featured as a background in the Dragstrip scenes in “American Graphitti 2”.

This Drive-in was operated by the Enea Brothers, who owned numerous Drive-ins and movie houses throughout the Bay Area. If you’re driving around in Northern California, and you see the Enea name on a shopping center or complex, you can bet that the site once housed a theatre or Drive-in.
