Even with too many rain outs, I was able to hit 49 races this year. I have been going to quite a few races a year since 1982. I do not remember seeing more good races than this year. I did not see one bad show. I could not narrow it down to a top 5, but managed to pick my top 6.
6. Eldora May 12 USAC Sprints Been going to Eldora since 1982. That was the best race I have ever seen there.
5. Lawrenceburg June 10 USAC MidgetWeek A great race with many lead changes.
4. Terre Haute October 14 Another great race at Terre Haute, one of the best I have seen there.
3. Kokomo Klash night 1 Fantastic action from heats to feature
2. Montpelier September 29 USAC Sprints Great action from start to finish, with a great finish. Best surface I have seen there.
1. Kokomo USAC Sprint Smackdown One of the top 5 races I have ever seen.
Honorable mention goes to Terre Haute September 15 USAC Sprints, Waynesfield August 5 BOSS Jack Hewitt classic, December 16 Duquoin Junior Knepper 55 USAC midgets, March 18 Duquoin Shamrock Classic USAC Midgets.
Any other year any of the shows in my honorable mention list could have been race of the year. Sadly I had to miss the 2 Haubstadt USAC Sprint photo finishes or my list may have been different. Here's to a safe, great 2018
