I was at Eldora for both "million races" and the non wing sprinters were by far the best show.

What we remember most about the late model million is that Jack Hewitt was leading the second heat race with just a handful of laps to go and the engine let go. Couldn't believe it. No one was within 8 to 10 car lengths of him when it came apart. If he had went on to win it he'd have started on the inside of the third row in the 100 lapper.

1st. Jac Haudenschild 200,000
2nd. Stevie Smith in his first Wingless race. 150.000
3rd Dickie Gaines. In HAR 69 second car. 100,000

It was a awesome show but not nearly as well attended as a KR or world 100.

Hell lets just have a full season of 50 thou races vs one show. You could split it up among WOO, LMS and NW, Have a sell out every show and a hundred of the class in every show.


What was great about the Mopar Million is it was 10g to start.
