whoa, very well said...
"In Ascot's hay day, they had over 100 midgets show up for 30 spots in the show. 70 guys would load up. This was before ******** provisionals. The crowd was filled with dirt midget and dirt sprint car enthusiasts. You looked in the pits and you saw all the bad ass sprint and midget racers together under one roof. These weren't 16-23 year old thrillseekers, these were journeymen sprint and midget racers."
i couldn't agree more, being younger (24)...i would do anything to see those days when sprint fields were filled with cars and class like this...im very unhappy with the commercialized state that nascar has created in auto racing...they have run out all forms of open wheel racing, F1 wont even be back because its to difficult for the american market to comprehend.
