Don,

I believe the first midget race at CMS was sanctioned by UMARA. It was being billed as a huge event with 40 or so cars expected. Turned out I think only about 12 or so showed up. I was of course one of them being that it was only about 30 minutes from home. I thought I heard that some of the grandstands went to the Milwaukee Mile. The track was extremely smooth and very very wide. Many of the guys compared it to a paperclip. Unfortunatly I lost an engine that day and had to settle for watching.

By the way, good run for you guys at Fort Wayne,
