    B Smith bought into the Joliet track(there were 2 national nhra races here) instantly one race went away

    Charlotte????? What did a spectator ticket cost????We used to leave California, made a stopover race in either Utah or Texas, go to Indy and back for probably less than a family of 4 can go to a race now

    we need fewer Bruton Smiths and Roger Penskes, race teams like Force and Shumacker, and get back to the Broadway Bob, CJ Hart,type tracks with the SUNDAY<SUNDAY<SUNDAY ads on radio for the races

    I don't like it either, Jerry...... Locally we used to run a full field of cars and all classes, couple times a month the match racers would come in..... Now, we're having a "big weekend" if there's 200 cars..... Maybe it is time for the travelling teams to make a comeback???? Couple of floppers running fives in a best of three match race would sure be better then being there for the last race before the track closes......

    Anyway, no I got myself all depressed again..... Think I'll go out to the garage and play with the 'maro.....
