Sounds like a wonderful place that needs to be shut down.
I think it is the same POS as you spoke of, Rick Heck.
J.T. was correct about the account of what happened for the most part. Hecks 2 boys, who race some fendered cars, were summoned to help their dad. When they jumped the guard rail on the pit ramp, they just started knocking down and swinging at innocent people....it was mob like. A couple of track workers helped too. And then the way we were treated and cussed at by the promotor during all of this, caused me to load my car and leave, as did my dad and his car. With the law on the way, and the rest of the pit (local drivers) attitude towards us, we left. Everyone wanted to stick together....shook hands on it and all, and then they still ran. I stood up for what I thought was right...I guess everyone else did what they thought was.
To the guy who asked, 10 cars started the A Main, Alex Shanks won.
