Wow! So I am the official know it all, eh?! I checked my records and here is what I found: In 1975 Thrust Industries sponsored the Thrust Twin 100s. On Sept. 5th, qualifying for the stock cars took place, while the 100 lap feature took place on the next night, Sept. 6th. On the next weekend, the sprint cars qualified on Sept. 12th, and the 100 lap feature took place the next night on Sept. 13th. I had the same thought that Dan had about back to back nights, and I vaguely remembered it happening in the distant past. So, we did have back to back nights on back to back weekends in Sept. 1975. We sure lucked out back then to get four consecutive dry weekend nights.

Ron,
All I know was that if anyone in the world knew, it would be you. Very cool history lesson.
