Man I guess I just don't get it.....
While Darland checked out to a convincing and popular win the race from 3 through 10 was something to behold. There was more sliders thrown between Leffler, Kahne, Santo's, Wease, and Clauson then when someone snuck in White Castles to fat camp. Listening to the throngs of fans who converged to the pit area post race the feeling I got was this was one of the fiercest most hardcore pavement races they had witnessed. From my point a view there were those dressed in kahki's and polos and those dressed in jeans and racing shirts. The thing that sticks with me was the stands were full, the pits were full,and everyone I encountered seemed pretty excited the way they spent there turkey day and night. For those who looked past Darlands out front antics and back just few positions through the field I think they saw a glimpse of what USAC racing would be nightly if Nascar had not come a callin the Kahnes, Lefflers, Yeleys, and on and on. I also continue to be amazed how some of these guys can show up, some years removed from these cars and withen laps are right back in their element.

I saw My first midget race in 1958, From then on I have heard from various sources year in and year out!!!, The big money guys ruin it, Its follow the leader. The fans are a bunch of cheese and cracker eaters. on and on over the years, You just have to tune the complainers out and hope they move on to something they enjoy more. As they seem very unhappy being at what they are complaining so much about about!
Every year I see some very good racing ever since that first one back in 58. Sure there are some stinkers and most of those imho are on the dirt, When it gets so dusty you cant hardly see them, or so dry and slick traction is just not there for any passing attempts! Sprinter shows are the worst at this. Not that the pavment doesnt throw up a stinker ever once in awhile also! But I still go. I dont get to go often enough but Every chance I get you will find me at the RACES. I am mostly a Midget fan but any races all are good most of the time.
You dont have any idea how many clubs and Tracks I have witnessed fall by the way side mainly because of complainers!!! Whats the old saying, Watch out for what you wish you just might get it!! Prime example San Jose speedway, A bunch of unhappy people thought they could do it better, The first round in the mid fifties was outlasted by that speedway. The second round brought about the shuttering of that great track and a few years later there is now "NO" racing in San Jose area at all!
