I would have to say in 1978 Rocky Fisher promoted a race at Lake City Speedway in North Florida just before the East Bay Nationals. 1st time for the sprints there and somewhere around 50-60 stars like Joe Saldana, Paul Pitzer, Tom Corbin, Toby Tobias, Doug Wolfgang, Billy Casella, Bob Kinser, Bobby Allen, Leland McSpadden, Jan Opperman, Junior Parkerson, Don Mack, Chuck Amaiti, Charlie Swartz and young guns Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell, Shane Carson, Al Unser Jr. showed up to race....WOW what a race..Saldana beating Pitzer at the line by a half of a ft. bumper...cutting the corner of turn 4 and Sammy hitting the drain 30 ft inside the track while running 4th....and I WAS HOOKED ON NON WING SPRINT CAR RACING!!!!!!

Still to this day after a gazillon races that one is the best...thank you jesus for allowing me to see it...and at my age REMEMBER IT...LOL
