Re: Paragon Speedway Amati 68
I agree with your assessment, Jerry. Paragon is a unique venue, attending a race there is like a trip back in time. Someone remarked to me at Bloomington this past Friday night that Paragon had changed a lot. I disagree. It has remained pretty much the same over the decades. Sure there have been some tweaks here and there, but the basics are the same. Fellow IOWer mcrider remarked to me about the view from the hill on the frontstretch and how it symbolizes Indiana. The crops and other elements associated with our agricultural background are clearly visible as well as a lush green forest on the surrounding land. It provides a relaxing backdrop to the racing activity on the track. Only thing missing last night was the fellow who often flies an ultralight aircraft in the vicinity. We are fortunate to live in a state that has such great scenery to enjoy as we drive to and from the race tracks. I remember reading a comment on this board sometime back from a fan from California who marveled at all the trees and vegetation that grace our state.
Sure there are some things I would like to see improved at Paragon (better speakers would be number one, closely followed by more supplies in the restroom), but I know pretty much what to expect at Paragon before I leave home, and I accept it for what it is.
