Racephoto1 touched on something that got me thinking…

Back in the day, the modifieds would run a race on Labor Day afternoon at the NY State Fair on the Syracuse Mile. After that race, everyone would load up and head 20 minutes west on Route 5 for a show at Rolling Wheels that night. Probably not practical in this day and age for the Silver Crown cars, but it’s fun to think about: Two races on the same day, twin 50’s - one 50 on the Mile in the afternoon and a second 50 that night at the Wheels.

We used to do the same thing once every spring between Rolling Wheels and Weedsport. A show at the Wheels in the afternoon. Load up and drive ten minutes for a show at Weedsport that night. Weedsport might be a bit tight for the Crown cars, though. Perfect track for sprints or midgets.
