I was at all the races ran at Champaign. The track operated maybe 3 years? It was one dusty race track on Sunday afternoons. Why the track closed, I don't know.
I saw my first USAC sprint race in 1966 at the THAT. Started going to IMCA races also. IMCA had good shows with drivers like Wooley, Woodside, Weld, and my favorite Bill Utz.
