I wonder how many on here as Kids started as going to Jalopy races, the 1930 Ford/Chevy coupe type. It was super afordable, popcorn and Coke was about it for concessions. Coke in one of those about 6oz paper cups. They had Hot Laps, Trophy Dash, Heats, Consi and Feature. Sometimes they had a "Powder Puff" race, which was fun to watch. Seems the cars were colorful. I must have had a great time as I can remember it as though it was last week.

I remember the first Super Modified race I went to, seemed the cars were going 750 miles an hour. I again was super impressed with the first sprint car race I attended, open face helmets, No Cage, big fairgrounds grand stand, the drivers were sort of gentlemanly. Working the wheel, some really fighting it even on the straight. Those cars always seemed to slide further and go faster.

I am sure todays kids find todays races just as exciting.
