I remember the 100 lappers, Shane. The last one I saw, Ross Smith won the sprint car race. Sheldon Kinser led most of the race in Brewer's red #14 Cadillac powered car but lost a driveline and Ross went on to win it in the Black #5 Oakie Drout Spl. Paid a $1000 back then. Big Bucks!!!
Earl Smith, Bruce Gould and Ross Smith were the hot dogs in the stockers back then. Ross did double duty every week. You would get hit in the chest with big clods of mud during the feature back then!!
PS..Shane, I remember watching your dad race a white Pontiac late model with an orange #57 on it out at Tri-County Speedway when it first opened in 1968. I was in Jr. High.
