+Hope you'll bear with me as I once more visit the past, this time with a midget event from 44+ years ago. I have a reason, which will become apparent a bit later.

+I picked this one to bring back because, 1) midgets are at center stage right now, 2) and most importantly because Mike McGreevy, who recently (Jan. 3) celebrated his 87th birthday, was the feature winner. Iron Mike was a GREAT midget shoe.
+Not a great car count (I don't recall anyone being even a little bit disappointed) but included several drivers who would go on to become legends in the small cars. Just check out the fast car dash lineup.
+Tri-County Speedway, north of Cincinnati and south of Dayton just off I-75, was still dirt and would later hold a number of midget shows each Thursday night. I was privileged to see them all and most were terrific.

+Thatsnuff!
