Nice....a lot of drivers lost their lives in those early sprint cars without roll bars on them back in the day.

The coolest thing for me was seeing the section of fence from Ascot Park Raceway in Gardena, CA. My grandparents took me there when I was knee high to a grasshopper. The races are among my earliest memories. The always had great racing there. The museum was pretty cool and they had a lot stuff jammed into a pretty small area. They will need to expand soon.

Very cool...that (and the Nationals of course) is on my list of places to go to....seems like a real bear to try and find accomodations though

If you are talking about the Nationals in Knoxville, let me know. We live within an hour of the speedway and have plenty of room.

Allen - have you ever heard of the Belleville High Banks? That is less than an hour from my house.
