my favorite/best sprint race also happened the same night as my favorite/best dirt champ, midget and modified races occured. September 28, 1998 as Jack Hewitt swept the 4-crown! By far the one night of racing that I will never forget and will always remain the best night of racing, to see all 4 cars and Jack on the frontstrech long after the races were over as he signed and talked made the whole night that much more special PLUS the races were actually very very good! Too damn bad Smoke ruined the 4-crown with this split night, wanged sh**, I actually went to the Jackson 100 last year instead of 3 Crown...

Bruce you are correct. I was thinking it was a USAC show. I told you my mind wasn't as good as it used to be.
I remember I almost didn't go due to the weather. Another reason that I always seem to hold out hope that they will get the show in.

There's too many to list all of them, but the sprint week finale at Tri- State
ast year. The Sheldon Kinser Memorial, awesome to watch a young up and comer chargebfrom the back. Also another one was T-Mez come from the back not once,but twice in the feature at LPS last year, not sure of the date.

I'm back. Dirt non wing would be Indiana State Fairgrounds, 1975 or 76, Dickson and Bettenhausen. Dickson won and Gary B tore the left front off trying to go under him in one, with one or two to go. They were the best there was at the time , doing it better then anyone else.
Levi and BC , or Jon and Daron at Haubstadt were a close second.
Wings would be 1978 at Susky. Lynn Paxton in the big block Boops car went to the tail twice in a 25 lap feature and won. It was impressive to watch.

The more races you see, it seems the less you remember about each one. One that for sure sticks in my mind is Mark Cassella's win at Lawreneburg in the Stapp 4U.

By far it is the night Terry Pletch took the hulman classic from the back of the heat, semi, feature. i think he also won a last chance qualifier that night
