This is very disappointing for those of us who have little to no inclination towards schlepping around downtown St. Louis only to set through hour upon hour of racing divisions we have no particular interest in.
Me thinks it's the dome thing being scheduled on the traditional weekend of the Knepper 55 that put the kibosh on it. Very sad that this happened to a great pre-Christmas racing event that we looked forward to every year!
Oh well, time marches on, I reckon.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
Truly a shame. Jr Knepper deserves to have Usac and Powri to honor him with memorial's. The Knepper family has been a staple in midwest midget racing since long before this old man was born. Jr was successful across the 3 open wheel divisions of USAC.
