* For the first 20 years of my involvement with the sport, I was a member of a team. We built and raced modifieds, then a sprint, then midgets. I miss the evenings working on the cars. And, I miss the team. They all died too young.
* I liked it when races started at the "Starting Line."
* One of the attractions of open-wheel racing was that you could see the drivers. And, the cars, with their round hoods and full-size tanks were beautiful.
* In New England, we had "cut-downs." They were lowered, narrowed, chopped, and channeled coupes. They were all home made. The racing was fantastic.
* I had the opportunity to regularly hear two of the best announcers ever: Ken Squire and Chris Economaki.
* There are too many missing tracks to mention.
On the other hand, I'm glad I can still come to Indiana a few times a year to watch the best racing of the current era.
