Copperhead... I want to thank you for taking me down memory lane. I realize that this was not your intention but you sure did. So many memories and emotions from growing up at places like Warsaw, Kokomo, Paragon, LPS and others came rushing back thru my head. You were so right in everything you said! We had so many characters back then. We had the good guys that we loved and we had the guys that we loved to hate. The highlight of the night for me and other kids was when a driver would walk thru the stands just to see a family member or to say high to the crowd. The on track Driver autograph deals were awesome as well. To go on the track was so cool!! Sometimes it takes a post like yours to remind me of what's really important and for me that's spending the evening at a track with family and friends and you know what? I am going to make it a point to take, force if needed, 2 newbies to the S.O.D race this Saturday at Butler. There's nothing like seeing a sprint car race thru the eyes of a first timer. With folks like you in the sport I'm confident that it is far from dead! Thanks for the perspective..
