SAD. The car racing on this track could never be better.
Champ Cars, stock cars and motorcycles. This was a highlight every year. So many great stories about life.
Memories like the USAC stock cars. I remember Foyt stole the pace car before practice. Three people in the convertible. Coming down the straight 80 mph. Never lifted and the right side digging into the cushion with dirt flying. The 3 guys didn't know to jump out. 2 laps was a site. Also the flat track motorcycles was always a pack going for the lead. Very hard for them to lead 2 straights in a row. Fun, fun. One time I met the promoter for racing. His rule was you have to be on the Fair Board to enjoy motor racing.
