The 305 class here went winged mid summer last year. The racetrack was slick with a cushion a few nights last year and it made for really good races. The tacky Ditch from years past is no more, as the sheeps foot is more common practice now. The new owner dressed the place up the last few years.

Wish we were going to participate in this race, but Jan was hurt badly in a 305 last year before the switch back to wings and he said he will not be racing without wings at Riverside as the track is too soft and the cages stick in the ground when the cars turn over.

I've always wanted to see USAC at my home track, and I was 3 or so the last time they were there. Thanks to Tony for getting us what should be one of the best races of the 2012 season !
