If I can remember right, it used to be sprints, LM's and mods weekly. Those were the days....

they ran sprints and lm's in the 70's. they had a pretty good lm turnout with guys like jesse ladd, jim scales (afco), tom helfrich just to name a few. there was also a guy who drove a #33 car. i can't recall his name but i know he was killed leaving a track years ago.

I believe he ran a sprint car one time, ran second, liked it, and his dad said no go Tommy. Just what I heard.

Never seen a bad race at TSS. I think two wheel barrows would put on a good show, and you know the track prep is second to none!!!

Thanks for the info. Dad and I were just talking about this. Dad said he remembered Tom getting in a sprinter but he didn't remember what he did in it.
