You guys make great points. Macon's black gumbo makes for unique dustless racing. Kudos to Bob Sargent's group over the years for his track prep. Reminds me a little of Haubstadt and their track car. I'm sure new ownership will be just as caring.

I saw my first Herald and Review 100 in 1982 when I moved downstate IL. Couldn't believe they were pitting late models in the infield! Later years, as Flag says, I saw the All Stars at Macon and will never forget seeing Jack Hewitt with his big bushy afro. 🤣 He was driving the blue Murphy car that year. Midgets are slide job city at Macon. Jerry Coons Jr told me he loves racing midgets at Macon.

Back in those 1980 days, Macon on Saturday night and Little Springfield on Sunday night were quite the weekly shows. Sure hope this Macon USAC weekend is repeated in 2024!
