Flat Rock, MI in July 1962. My uncle was running a figure 8 car, they also had late models. Don't remember who won the figure 8 race, but Joy Fair most likely won the late model feature. He owned that place in the 60's. Then we would go to Mount Clemens and Toledo. Also, the old Michigan State Fairground track was the first dirt track I saw in person that same summer, I was 6. Sure do miss the late models at Mount Clemens, they used to run the double-o for their feature, using both the 1/4 and 1/2 mile tracks. Thats some of the best and most entertaining races I've ever seen. First midget race, mid 70's, don't remember where except thinking those guys were nuts. Took my nephew, along with my brother to Daytona 1974, he was 6 months old, I guess it took, he went on and is in NC working for one of the Cup teams.
