Really wasn't meant to be a personal post. Just a whats wrong or Not happening in Racing post.
Glad you're on the mend Brent

Feel free to post a tidings and good cheer post.
Until then, HUMBUG. There's only two dirt miles left for Champ Cars.

It was even more wrong when USAC tried to do it at a different track. Midgets lined up three wide at Terre Haute is the way it was meant to be.

Yeah, I loved Turkey Night at Perris much more than the current thing. But at least we still have it. Not that it's bad now, But wide open speed on the bigger tracks does it for me.

And the person who could have saved the Indy mile was treated like royalty at the PRI show. Hopefully Illinois will not use their mile tracks to subsidize the casino industry.
Speaking of the Hut Hundred were you at the last one? It wasn't very crowded

Having to drive 7 to 8 hours for a USAC show. Living in WI makes it hard but it's worth the effort. This year WI has 3 so thats nice.

They would be lucky to get 24 cars on a big half mile these days. That's why it doesn't happen.

Did you ever race in that one? Dad missed the show by one or two spots in like 03. Was a good time. We went to watch a couple other times...hated it we missed KO's win in 97 (I think)

I miss KOs Indiana bullring scene always a good read. A lot of inside the pit stuff you didnt know about.
