The track designated the requirement for wings. The closest track to us that ran the World of Outlaws was the late great Santa Fe Speedway. I’m sure at least one, but maybe 2 of their first races in Hinsdale were wingless. My point is, wouldn’t it be great if it were still that way. Could you imagine an Outlaw weekend through Indiana where they shedded the billboards and roughed it up with the USAC and local regulars. I would pay to see that! Anyway, do any of you fine folks have any memories of going to an early Outlaw show that was run topless? Would love to hear it

I miss Santa Fe Speedway. Being so close to home plus Howard was one hell of a promoter.
