Went to the last "good" race at Manzanita- the Copper on Dirt last Februrary. Didn't know it then that I would never get another trip to Manzy... so sad. The Silver Crown, Sprints and Midgets were great shows there.

Not to be confused with Dyno Don

Cannot believe that you didn't go to the Halloween 200 at Salem. Talk about your rock 'em, sock 'em. (A great way to end the year, if nothing else. Hey, it's Salem, is my ongoing reasoning. I'm almost as old as that old track.)

Nah "Dynamite Don" goes to the races,and isnt scared of the bikers or undercover cops at Lawrenceburg.

Aero might come down and hang out in the parking lot if you supply the Dingaling beer!!

Next yr I'm getting him and Pine to come to the World Figure 8 Championship at the Speedrome. He was just getting a little taste of pavement this yr.

I dont know i did talk him into going to Ft Wayne......

He was just getting a little taste of pavement this yr.

I have a feeling that the old boy has tasted pavement before.

RT41 South to be exact........Sorry Aero, couldn't resist....

ASQ, save me a seat...


The more I think about it.........

I went to forty-four races in four states, (IN, IL, KY, OH). I actually attended more races (69 races in 1973 was my biggest year ever) when I still worked, because more tracks were available within driving distance and Tri-State Speedway ran about twenty races a year. I have to drive at least two hours to get to any track other than Tri-State.
I am more selective in what I attend now than I was back in the seventies.

I also believe he was at Little 500 practice this year...

65 races in 6 different states this year. Hoping to do more in 2010. really missing feeding during Sprintweek but the tracks needed the money with the economy still down.
