I can't remember when it was and it may have been the last time the had a wing race. I rode from cincy to see NST (I think). And I can't remember if it had been really wet leading up to the race (I don't think so). The track was so wet they couldn't get it run in. Seems I stuck around till 8-9 while they tried to get the track ready and I left. I hope this attempt fairs better.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the World of Outlaws have only been to Putnamville once before and that was way back in 1979. I’m assuming it was a non-wing show:

I remember a Sunday afternoon show too. I was thinking it was that GLOSS race in '02 but the date matches to a Saturday. The Sun. afternoon show must've been '00 or '01. I didn't go. I remember flying from St Louis to NY that day. My plane followed I-70 for part of the trip. From the air I could see Putnamville. Even from a few thousand feet, I could see the dust billowing.
WoO ran at Putnamville around the late 80s and again in the early 90s too.too I believe. Looking forward to the return! Let's see what that all time track record can drop to! I will say 10.6- 11.3 Range.
