I had the same question as the commenter below, where is the stagger start if it is a 440? It certainly looks intense enough to be a 440. Anyway, interesting photo. I've always wondered what it would be like to run on a dirt track.
Look how lean everyone is in that picture, foreground and background....things have really changed drastically from the WW2 era onward.

Well of course the runners are lean and how many fat people are going to go to a track meet. But yes I get your point of there being more fat people now than then.
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. Carl Bard
