The Pontiac Silverdome has been in the news the last few days with it finally being successfully demolished. On this date (Dec. 6) 1980, I attended the first midget race ever run there. It was an invitational event called Heroes vs. Outlaws and paid a $50,000 purse. Steve and Kelly Kinser were among the participants. Gene Gennetten won the feature.
