One more point, and I'm done. Having been born and raised in Colorado, good sprint car racing was rare till the later 1970's, even then there were no really great dirt tracks there. My first trip to Ascot in 1976 made me realize what truly great sprint car racing was out there. I've always been a bigger sprint fan than midgets, even though I raced midgets, I will always regret not getting into sprint cars instead. The sprint drivers today are just as brave, and talented as anytime in history, for me however, the cars are just not fun to look at, it's more depressing than exciting to see how the cars look. So, I don't go, holds no appeal to me, personally, my choice. Bob East at Ascot in 1975.....This is what I saw at Ascot, way back.
