Jo Kerr, Roy (when he drives our cars) and myself run the Early Non-cage cars VERY hard when we go to places like Pa.

Glad you enjoyed seeing it.

Just being on the track with a non cage car probably causes several people quite a bit of anxiety. The old Quarter Midget Racers can not even race in their pre cage Quarter Midgets on a 1/20th mile track because of insurance regulations.

It might be neat if the track owners could set up special pit area for you guys and Roy's guys up closer to the fans where they could appreciate your "Traveling Race Car Museums" up close and personal during the racing program. After all it is still all about pleasing the fans and giving them another reason to go to the races.
