Dad and I went to a sprint race at Salem in May, 1967. Sonny was driving the Iddings #93 and he was terrific on the high banks. The next day we went to the Speedway for practice and were sitting in...

Interesting to read about the overflow crowd at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. I wonder if anyone has any memories of this track.

Re: Usac: 1959 usac midget review: A little bit of hartley &

Since I was a kid growing up in the '60s, my favorites have been USAC drivers. Some things don't change.

Re: Inaugural Hoosier Dome midget race
Vogler's dominance explains why the cold didn't seem too bad that night. Maybe also because I was 25 and had to thoroughly check out the new dome's beer selections.

Re: Home Track
I try to make all USAC races at Terre Haute. Not as many on the schedule as I would like. Interesting no IRP mentions. Guessing there were many of us back in the Thunder days.

I wonder if the Sunday May 5th Rich Vogler race will be in the afternoon. I assume the date change was to finish the Eldora sprint car weekend.

I may be mistaken but I thought May 7 was the rain date. Wasn't the Sumar originally scheduled for April this year?

Oh no. Not getting me to write some rule that I don't agree with. I say every lap of the race should be treated the same unless otherwise stipulated.

Not really all that specific. Either you stop the race within 10 or not. Thats why you have rules because they are specific.

Re: Indianapolis 500 Thoughts (Spoilers)
Is it actually written in the rulebook that the race should go red near the end and not yellow? Hard to see justifying this if not. If that is the rule they want then put it in writing.
