I REMEMBER THAT WE WOULD QUALIFY 1 LAP THEN PARK IN THE INFIELD.LAST CAR OUT WOULD TAKE 2 LAPS THEN THE ONES IN THE INFIELD WOULD TAKE THERE OTHR LAP. --- GOOD TIMES FOR ALL --:applaud:
My dad ran a straight six there for awhile. He always tried to build his cars from Chevy II's. Jerry Dubois drove his car in the later years. There was a guy named Homer Galyan (sp) who used to bring three cars. I think one in the bed of a dump truck and two on a trailer.
I remember Ray Godsey and Don Hobbs running there. Godsey and Hobbs had some legendary battles on that little bullring.
By the time my dad let me go they had stoped running sprinters :crying:
I remember that there was a pretty significant drop off the back straight.
Whoever started this post, thanks.:applaud:
