Since we are talking about indoor races, I attended an indoor race at the E. J. Nutter Center at Wright State University (Dayton, OH) on Jan. 15, 1995. I didn't write down any details of the event, but I remember that Mel Kenyon was competing and the weather was warm and rainy. Did anyone else on here attend that event? Did they ever have another one? I never saw another one advertised.

I went to one about that time but it was in Hara Arena, Not Nutter Center. I know Nutter hosted a Arena Cross last year but it was icy and I didn't go.

Keith, is that the one we went to see? Or was it later? I was thinking we saw one at O'Hare Arena.

I'll have to go through my programs; I'm pretty sure I bought one. I noticed that Jack Walker Pontiac sponsored the 1994 event. He apparently sponsored the 1995 event also, as I remember a collection of new Pontiacs on display. I remember liking the Bonnevilles of that year, but I was not in the market at that time. One thing I distinctly remember about that day was the persistent rain, which began as I was just outside Louisville towards Ohio. I bought a brand new 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora on Nov. 17, 1994 and that was the first time it had been driven in the rain. I still own and drive this car to most of the races. Has nearly 268,000 miles on it, runs and looks great and gets 25-27mpg on the highway.
