I attended my first sprint car race in 1953, maybe you are more educated than I when it comes to sprint car racing? If you have seen more sprint car shows than I have, congratulations you are a very lucky person!
I would love to compare notes about Pat O'Connor and Mike Nazaruk with you sometme.

Back in the day gas was like 30cents a gallon. Guess what it isn't back in the day. I still say paying a big purse on a Sunday night, on short notice would require more people than you can draw locally. I think for the promotor it would be risky. Yes a rain date would have been nice, but if I was in the tracks position and it was my money, I wouldn't have done it. I would like to see your notes on Pat O'Conner and Mike Nazaruk though. I bet thats good stuff.
