David, you know better than to trust my memory, but I remember they also did this mustseeracing.com thing for the Little 500 last year and I think also the Midget 400 last year. You could subscribe on line and see it live or watch it on cable outlets on a delay basis.
The King of Wings race has suffered from low car counts, usually even less than USAC races there.
Cameron Dodson I think has won that race a time or two.
Gregg,
You are correct on the mustseeracing.com broadcast of the Little 500. As far as the low car count for the King of Wings race at Winchester, I personally feel that the combination of speed and rough race track has contributed more than anything. The track surface is tough on axles and suspension parts and combined with the speed is a scary situation.
Even late models and modifieds are affected by the track surface. If memory serves me correctly, Cameron Dodson still holds the track record. I remember seeing him check out in the feature and lap up to like third place a couple of years ago.
The AVSS runs without HOSS at Toledo and it also is a high banked but very smooth 1/2 mile track. They get a good car count there for that show so I would have to believe that the racing surface is an issue.
