Digging into the memories now
The first ever WoO pavement race at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City. It was on a chilly November day and was a non points race after their season was over. I think Dave Blaney won in the Kinser 11.
USAC sprints on the "half mile" at Louisville Motor Speedway. Some reffered to that as a road course with the turns and drops onto the fifth mile. That was a nice place with one of the best short track catch fences I've ever seen.
And Ascot, I'll explain
We were at Gas City midget week in 2020 sitting and talking with a group of locals. One of the gentleman was going on and on about how he only lived 30 minutes from 6 non wing tracks and we had nothing in St Louis area (he is right) He asked were we had been. I glanced at my wife and said "She's been to Ascot". His face dropped like we told him his dog had died. I didn't want to kick him while he was down and say she has been to the Belleville Highbanks too.
