Me and 90% of the people who went there stopped going when it was paved, it had to be done due to dust blowin into town. It was the "dustiest" track ever but it wasnt really dust more like a cement mixture of black clay and calcium. Tacky, Super fast. modified record is something like 126mph average (dirt) and wolfgang went around at 141 or so lap average on dirt. The smallblock cars could go without lifting, the bigblocks needed to lift slightly coming out of the short chute and first turn. Glen Fitzcharles was the only modified driver I ever saw doing bigblock laps and not lifting, not bad in a 1200hp car. I've still never seen nothing like it, and the sad part is I know I never will. I was looking at my mid seventies area auto racing news pictorials yesterday. While looking thru it I saw quite a few guys that perished there. Thats the one thing I like about the new cars, way safer. Guys would've still died but not as many.
