End of the day you set on the trailer and car drinking beer with everybody talking about the days race. Maybe even herk and prince would be looking for a beer from watson. Remember those days? You were proud to be a usac racer. You built your **** and raced it. Think about terre haute in the day time without lights, new bremen under the tree and frank dickie, great days. Watch any dick wallen and look at the crowds everywhere. Today you order a car from a builder go to bernie & mark's walmart of race parts and bolt it all together. Callup a horsepower shop and get a motor. Daddy pays somebody to work on his young kids car out of the semi rig. Yes there are a few who stilldo the down home with the family deal like the fox boys. So how does todays racing and tracks get turned around ???? Lots of ideas can only help. But usac, hoss/avss, open, how do you organise it? We can't complain about the racing we have. Most track have great local racing, all near indy. Hey that's great.

also you had fun and a lot of help! Car builders like watson king wally stapp edmunds shores leffler ward mitchell osborn travis maxwell stanton allen cook j&j dowker and you race the same car on dirt and pavement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
