I get that but I really don't consider damion, Coons and Kruiser left coasters anymore as they have toured each at least a couple years each now. I really used to enjoy Gassman, Gaunt, Rip, McSpadden and the others who came out here for the midwest tour. The two or three years I went (Early 90s?) They carried at least 12-15 cars and the locals and some USACers would make for stellar fields. Sometimes I feel that Locals consider USAC to be the plauge and avoid racing with them. (Even at their home track) at all cost. I even have had a couple drivers tell me they'd wreck you to pass you as their reason. So maybe there is some truth to what he's claiming???????????? Not defending it but there has to be a reason other than motor.
Yeah I love Sprint Week and it does draw some but Its not even close when it comes to seeing the number of non semi indiana regulars What actually impressed me was some of them guys comming out here and sometimes putting a whoopin on. Ole Bub almost ran away with Eldora. Leland ran great. Sure Im aware both campaigned out here at one time or another and both are retired.
As far as slick tracks here are concerned? Its becoming rarer IMHO and im thankful for it. I know some racers say it saves them tons of cash to run smooth slick but Huggy pole can be played with bicycles and go carts too. Not rim riding slide jobbing action
