It's a real shame to see this great event become an afterthought to a NASCAR weekend.
It was always great loading the RV in the Missouri winter, heading out for a few weeks in the desert, with the Copper Classic the main destination.
Thank you to USAC for providing the video. I missed the midget race, but witnessed the last half of the champ car race. The way Kody Swanson was driving, was reminiscent of the drive Jimmy Kite put on to come from the back to win in '95(?). Kody had the ass end hanging out coming off of four, while Kite did the same, with the cords showing, and smoke boiling off the right rear for the last 5 laps, wondering if the tire would make it. Love it when they get their elbows up on that big fast mile!
Hopefully they'll show the midget race again in the near future. That place always sent a shiver down my spine watching those twitchy little cars going that fast.
