Al,
I just write down the track and date of the event. I use to write down qualifying times and results for USAC races separate from my little book, but that got to be too much like a job, so I quit doing it. Wish I had kept a record of all the races I've attended. Didn't start writing them down in a "little book" until 1970. I do remember the "biggies" from earlier years, such as USAC at Salem, Terre Haute, DuQuoin, and IRP, and of course Indianapolis 500's, and Nascar at Daytona and Atlanta. Apparently Marv really kept some detailed records. I have a friend from Beecher City, IL who keeps detailed records of the races. I noticed at Putnamville that he still does it. There are a few people who write down qualifying times, lineups, etc., but not near as many as there use to be.
