Any race that my grandfather raced at Bloomington in the 50's! I lost him when I was 7 and didn't get to talk racing with him. I don't have many memories of him but I do remember watching the 86 Indy 500 with him and dad! Dad and I have NEVER missed one since!

Bryan Clausons last win in Indiana at the burg during ISW 2016. I was there but I sure would like to see that again it was amazing!

Probably any of the early USAC Champ Car in the 1970's races at DuQuoin. Pictures show the place absolutely packed with the like of Andretti, Foyt, and Unser still running dirt

1965 Milwaukee Mile, A.J. qualified the dirt champ car for the pole, then won the race!

Any race on a mile dirt with Hewitt, Gurney, Bettenhausen, and Hood running the dirt cars. Or A race with Hurtubise in a sprinter.

Don't remember the year but it was the "mystery feature" at Knoxville nationals between Jack Hewitt, Rick Unger, and T.J. Giddings. A battle royal didn't have that much action!

My first memories of racing at Winchester on the high banks were many duels between Spider Webb and Johnny Shackleford . The brave only raced at Winchester and these 2 were part of that group. This would have been back in 1947, 1948 and 1949.
