You're right, Gary. Silver Crown racing on the mile dirt tracks is kind of like Zsa Zsa Gabor. Every couple of years or so you hear that the end is near and that a priest has been called in to read her her last rights. And that subject goes away until the next time the last rights are to be read. If it weren't for Bob Sargent though, who knows? For several years now, it seems like he's the only one that seems to have the will to keep putting these events on. Bundling this one with two POWRI Midget events seems like an idea that worked. For fans in that area and drivers trying to cut down on travel expenses, alike.
