Good for you Ron. You MUST have some great stories. I have been to the speedway at other times of the year twice. But one of my bucket list items is to visit the museum there. 57 years says you can't be in your 40's anymore!! My first race was in '47 after my Dad cameback from the war. We live on the east coast and that was a hotbead for ARDC. 9 shows a week NINE!. My dad was friends with Bill Shindler and a number of period greats from the area including his personal hero Tony Bettenhowsen. We used to listen to Sid Collins call the greatest spectacle in racing and thrill to the sound of the mighty Novi when it camebast the mics. I have 3 sons and 2 would rather race than eat. We have been going to Tulsa for the Chili Bowl for 22 years and had cars there for the last 12. We always attend the Hall of Fame luncheon on the Friday. Our pit spot has been at the extreme opposite end from the ramp against the show fence. God willing we will be back in 2022. If you are there; stop by and ask for the old man. We could have a great time swapping stories. Gregg Wilke told me that he sold his cars and Bondio wasn't there this year. I am holding out hops that they return when we get done with this mask ********. Stay well....and on IOW.
