You might be old school if you were at Sun Valley Speedway the night that track owner Joe Helping sang the national anthem.:18:

Seem to remember a lot of talk about it and the car almost making an A-main til the motor puked.

Yes, it was Matt Sherrill from the Tulsa area. He now runs a lot with Powri, but in much newer equipment.

You might be old school if you looked forward to seeing the glossy pictures in Illustrated Speedway News. Also, if you remember seeing race cars at almost every service station or garage in town.

You might be old school if you remember watching local shows with both Late Models & Sprints on the card for the night.

You might be old school if you remember "Dandy" Don Klein's first track championship with the Allied Auto Racing Association.

I'm Old School. Here we go. Minnesota State Fairgrounds 1/2 mile
when Harvey Conkel went for a ride and Ernie Johnson was there
to help. The t-shirt days were awesome. ( Wish I could have seen
the IMCA days. Incredible!) Turn 1 tavern at Little Springfield. The
1 ton dually's @ open trailer's. Ernie Johnson had a chance to go
to Indy in 1949 but his business-family did not allow to let that
happen. Johnson had many great driver's like Emory Collins & Horst
meyer in his Sprint Car stable. I think of the 318 offy's. Ernie
Johnson was a great driver in his racing days. Have friends that
remember Johnson-Collins-Horstmeyer racing.
Best Regards,
John

You might be old school if you found it entertaining when a drivers wife would climb the flag stand ladder to discuss the race with the flagman.

You might be old school when you actually got to hear announcers talk about the drivers and give a little brackground.
