You are probably talking about my leaning tree. Located up on top of an embankment about 10 to 15 feet higher than the track. Yep I can't think of anybody in Midget racing that hold fuzzy feelings about earth-mover tires unless they are on earth-mover's prepping the track.
In Little Salem's distant path there was an owner by the name of Steve Smith that was also grader operator>>>near as I can figure Steve took that talent to his grave, because I have not seen any young up and coming operators plying their trade lately on a race track
. Steve could build a berm on the inside of the track about 12 to 18 inches tall, it was a determent as well as an asset to the racers, depending on their abilities. It didn't total any race cars. However Steve was a one of a kind guy. I have watched Steve go out with that antique grader and grade the top couple of inches off of the race track after a rain shower just to give us a track to race on. Wasn't anything that Steve couldn't do with that grader and a case of Beer beside him.
