I saw my first sprint car race here in about 1947 at the age of five. My dad and his cousin took me. We stood along the fence in turn one and the oily dirt left us looking like a minstral cast by the time the day was over. I don't remember who won or even who ran but I know it was very rxciting for a six year old to see the action that day. I have also been to New Bremen 100's of times and we were at the very first race at Eldora. It's a shame Earl sold New Bremen with the conditions as it was a great place to race and/or watch a race. The sound of those Offys echoing through the trees was priceless!
