George,

Kind of ironic that you mention last years race and Johnny Benson. We were at Toledo the night before for the ISMA show and we planned on going to Berlin the next night as well. The weather was iffy at best so we decided instead to go to Lawrenceburg for the midget week show.

Johnny was injured in a nasty accident at Berlin and the carnage was kind of high when we talked with folks who had gone to the show. Glad we missed seeing it as I enjoy good close racing but not demo derbys.

The year that I was there for the ISMA show it was indeed a good race. I hated it that they had to call it half way through due to weather. I have also watched the pavement late models of the old ASA series run there in the past and it was always a good show. I hope that the USAC Silver Crown show will also be great.
