If you could race anywhere, anytime where would it be? Be specific, past, present or future. I am bored let see what we can come up with.

I would pick as they were called "big cars" at Williams Grove post WWII. Tow ropes, open trailers, and open face helmets with a bandana. No cages, no roll bars! Men were men, and no teenage drivers! Oh sorry just fantasizing. Got carried away there, what can you come up with? Let's see.

Indy, 1946 - 1960. Roadsters, uprights, 65-70 cars and different drivers vying for the 33 spots. The brilliance of Moore, Salih, Watson, etc. Rose, Holland, Parsons, Ruttman, Vuky, Bryan, Ward, and Rathmann. :Steer:applaud:

I agree. That would get me back to Indy. I just can't generate any interest in slot car racing. Those cars were dangerous, but they could be made safer with today's technology, as have sprint cars, midgets, champ cars.

I have to agree with LocalYocal and say Ascot in the 80's were priceless.
