I think the old man also races and the drama was between him and his son I think the old man ended up winning the championship the last race of the season by just a few points. Don't get any better than that, scripted>>>MAY be??

I don't think I could think of 80 something things to do all at one time but according to the write up they re-invented the whole concept of racing being entertainment for the fans in the stands and the fans doing the racing.

Food for Thought and a very good read.

I know what you mean about the Action Track name, I still call the place Kutztown.

Rich Tobias is the creator of the Speedsters and Slingshots. I got up to Kutztown once last year and I think they had 145 cars on a Wednesday night with the addition of the wingless 600cc micros. Great program and they were done before 10:30PM.
