It was May of 1990 when Kinser won CRA bonus at Eldora. A lot of WoO guys there that night, including Haud, Dave Blaney, Terry Shepard, plus CRA standouts like McSpadden, Bubby & Shuman. Tony Elliott was in the 17 car if I remember correctly. Anyway, a super stout field.

I had seen several non wing races before that night, but it was this race that cemented my love of tradional sprintcars and my disdain for winged super sprints.

The track that night was awesome, back when Eldora was still great. Thank GOD I was luck enough to witness Eldora back then.

On another note, how many of you remember when Richard Griffin won the CRA race at Eldora in Pepper Fites Ford running the wall? Actually he was slamming the wall the whole way around, lap after lap. I kept waiting for him to bite it, but he never did. They had a brief rain shower move through that night and they worked hard to get the track ready. Biggest cushion I ever saw at Eldora. I think that was 1991. Really great memories.
