This looks similar to the photos I saw in the Albuquerque Journal about the 66 site after its screen had been razed. The city had run the place as a BMX racing track for a couple of years, matching some of the letters on the old sign.
I found more details. This photo was taken by William J. Lucas and is part of the William J. Lucas Route 66 Photograph Collection, now available at the
Center for Southwest Research, University Libraries, University of New Mexico. That institution says on its web site that “Copyright to the original photographs has been transfered to the CSWR.”
One more update. The page for the William J. Lucas Route 66 Photograph Collection says, “Copyright held by William J. Lucas estate, Albuquerque, N.M. Permission required for reproduction.”
