No question , Steve Kinser running down Sammy Swindell when the WOO ran at the Indiana StateFairgrounds. Stevie chased him the whole race being about a 1/2 lap down and not being able to gain a car length the entire race but passed him going into 3 with 1 lap to go. Sammy went low trying to lap another car and Stevie went high in 3 ,which you don't do and made the pass. The entire grandstand was in awe and gave Stevie a standing o at the checkered flap

For me it was the AVSS race in Sept '01 @ Salem 4 cars fighting for the lead all 30 laps won by Canadas Mike Ling. A few others are a winged race @ Brownstown won By Danny Smith but chased the whole race by Gary Hayhurst Jr. Last years USAC finale @ Tri-State Speedway was what dirt track racing is all about tho. Levi & BC 1 & 2 for the Sprintweek title. WOW is all I gotta say about that one!!!

Watching Randy Kinser and Kevin Briscoe wage war on each other at Paragon in the summer of 1992. Everytime those guys went into one it was a contest to see who would lift first. Briscoe running clear out on the push off lane down the backstretch and nearly launching the car airborne back out onto the track in three. Drag race to the checkers. It was wings but man it was great.

Mopar Million was the coolest event I've been to. 1986 Kings Royal (my first trip to Eldora) and Donnie Kreitz Jr. shocked the world beating Haud, Blaney, Wolfgang, Swindell and the King. At the time I had never even heard of Donnie Kreitz. And any feature at the Real Kokomo Speedway before it was destroyed.

New Bremen (dirt) August 19, 1979. Carter banging into the wall, Bubby Jones in the middle of the track and Gary B running through the infield and they would come up three abreast at the finish line darn near every lap. Bubby wound up winning it, Pancho 2nd and Gary B 3rd. Crowd was on it's feet the whole featch. Do any of you other oldtimers remember this one?????
I agree that the MOPAR Million was one of, if not, the best weekend of racing I've ever seen.

I've mentioned this one before. Don't remember the year but Kinser came into Eldora took off the wing against USAC and CRA and blew 'em away. He was completely sideways halfway down the back stretch as he was diving into 3. I can still see it in my mind.
