You're right, don't really like to watch "follow the leader" parades on asphalt.
Much rather watch the cars with less than 2#/hp on dirt.

Cursed Sam's Club! Went for coffee and chlorine tablets for pool. $750 later ..... Although I did get a very nice portable propane fire pit for the camper, $79. Should be Goshen approved! I guess we can use it once the Dodge hood burns through!

Me too, as long as they don't have doors & fenders and look like a wedge of cheese.

Good man, I found out in FL this year that I could tie a length of 550 cord from one arm across the matl to the other arm stops it. May try to put a clip on the hem about half way and use Velcro around the arms.

I personally like racing of any kind. Land, sea, air, it's all exciting!

You're in the land of sprint cars, Eldora, Chillicothe, Limaland, Fremont, Sandusky and a bunch more. Love Eldora.

Oh yeah. I started my business in Jack Hewitt's old race shop. There is an old guy nearby that has Tony Stewart's first dirt car that he built for him. Trost's Tresler Comet Service Center, from days gone by, has built and raced at Eldora for decades. My cousin is currently racing for one of the big teams, but not sure which one.
