Sprint cars ran there last few years during Turkey night and the track was fine. Last year was one of the best surfaces you will see for a midget. Epic battle between Grant and Thorson.

This idea lost any chance of succeeding on April 23rd 1978. It gave Ted Johnson the opening he needed and he took great advantage of it.
