Guess he was wrong.
USAC was going back to the track they were at last year until that track had other ideas. I personally hope they never return to where they were last year.

Next year keep just two classes Sprints & modified
Gas will be above $4 before the Little 500 gets here. I think you will see $5 gas next year at this time. Hope I'm wrong.

After watching the video it made me wish to go south this time next year.

This is another way of saying that all involved did a great job of it.

Perhaps Mr. Fish and I will take the choo choo down there next Feb.

I think they will have larger crowds this year with the Northerners who weren't there this year plus more locals. Does anyone know what kind of dirt that was? TimBookmiller's comment about it not being the clay of Indiana was right on, but I'm not sure what it was. Sort of light tan that looks dried out when it is very wet, not sandy like you get in Florida but kind of sticky. Florida swamp clay?

If you didn't go this year, be sure to put it on your calendar for next year. Track, people, concessions, clean restrooms, everything first class.
the clay is what we would call blue clay ,but ocala's also has a little lime kinda mixed with it. when you dig down about 5 feet in some parts of fl. you will find it and it has a blue tint and kinda a brown tint mixed in
