It was very cool to see this small group of vintage sprint cars at Kankakee on Friday night. For a small group they ran a good heat race and feature program. How ever it would be even better if they had 20 of them in the A-Main. Would love to see another 8-9 of these restored and repaired cars out on the track. For the growing age fanbase I think more than anything they bring a cool nostalgia factor to the track with them. 20 Cars with 2 heats and a feature would be something for the older fans and bring back a lot or memories of days and years gone bye.
