I really want to attend this one. Chuck Amati was from my area and he was my first racing hero, I followed his career in my youth, mainly through Speed Sport News. Rarely did I get the opportunity to see him race in person. A few times I saw him race at Turnpike Speedway in Marion, Illinois and once or twice my dad was able to take us to Little Springfield. Later, I saw him he attempted a comeback of sorts and drove a couple of times at St. Francois County Speedway in Farmington, MO, probably when he was 60 plus years old. The weather, unfortunately, doesn't look good and I am 3 1/2 hours from Paragon. Alas, maybe next year. If it does rain, I hope they reschedule.
Edit for old brain: How could I forget his time in the white 66. Saw him at Haubstadt several times in that car and others.
