I don't think I'll ever get over asphalt sprint cars. It's like when I learnt that supermods were a thing and it took years off of my life watching them. Too quick for their own good! Thanks for the upload, I appreciate them all.
yea and for several till the end of last year they had dirt on the track, and had I belive the world of outlaws run there, as well as kokomo, last year we were soo spoiled on racing, we had the new track at circle city, plymith was still dirt the outlaws ran in indiana up north here, we had winged 410 sprints in the central and north part of indiana, and baerfield looked to reopen, and looked like we were going to get one more hoosier hundred but they started teh conversion 3 weeks before the last was to be, oh and it was the first year they ran nascar on dirt in years, and I belive they did two runs of silver crown cars at eldora, one in the spring and then in the fall the 4 crown nationals. and the first time maybe ever the usac silver crowns ran at historical winchester raceway, I was there for the vogaler last week and it did not dissapoint soo many historical cars on display from the past, some even with ledgendary offenhousers in them but I could not make out which ones as some were running their engines harder and drounded out that others as they were doing parade laps, and they had the thunder roadsters which run on a giant motorcycle engine but look like the last roadster era cars of indy, then the crowns raced and flew, some time even going three wide with those beasts though I thought it would be more on the rails racing, there was passing though, but bobby santos 3 was having issues and pulled in and good thing he did he snapped the right front frame and they had to ratchet strap it togather to be able to put it back on the trailer, and taylor ferns tied her 3rd place finish from carb night which was the highest lady crown driver finish all time back in may at 3rd place, and that was after she spun out and caused the only caution, but kody swanson was just too dominant and won by a good margin, he was also the only one that went sub 15 on the historical half meaning he was going greater then the 140mph expected speed, very fast. anyway we used to have the sod series race on both asphalt up here in northern indiana at avilla baer field, and this very raceway as well as up at angola, they were fun to watch though when turning on the narrow tracks they would tip in the turns till they got going and could string out and slide the turns a bit, my only regret is I never got to see them on dirt, and I dont even think there are a series anymore, it might have disbanded or maybe its just taking a year off, as for me though I prefer the dirt, and want to see winged 410 racing return up here, as well as a dirt silver crown race in indiana beside terra haute, if only we could convince one of the horse tracks or county fairs to put up a catch fence at least temporarly and run a race for us northerners. though I read indy raceway park wants to put up a temp dirt track for a race but dont want to dirt the whole track, maybe though they can conviced to do that or build a temp track of dirt around the inside of the 5/8s, and have a silver crown duel on dirt and pavement well maybe that would not work as the dirt would throw on the the outer track but its an idea, I dont want to just give up on seeing a dirt crown race in the north or central half of indiana till I do at least once, its how they were made to run on big flat tracks and really the most organic form of auto racing, flat big dirt tracks that were on horse tracks and fair ground tracks, though I could only see that happening if one of the horse tracks lets them do a race that is still dirt surface, they lay down a big one at irp, someone builds another one, they expand circle city, or the one at indy motor speedway, or tony can be convinced to build that dirt mile that earl started at eldora, or they put one down in one of the open fields at a sports complex or farm field that are abundant in indiana. or they take the state fair mile back to dirt but I dont see that happening as they are trying to have a trainning facility for harness horses and chase the gambling money, would have been nice though if they would have at least saved the inner half mile at the state fair but noo they had to pave over it so they can have parking for the state fair and for drainage, never mind history or the fact the hoosier hundred was like the indy 500 of dirt track racing, and one of the most popular, now all we have is the two miles in the land of lincolin and the one in sacramento but that has not had a car race there in decades i think since black sunday. I dont know But I sure have fun at races, hope to go to bc 39 this year, and I know winchester wont be having a dirt race, the owner said the banking is too high and it would not hold it at that steep angle, and good clay is expensive when I had a chance meeting after the race and he was headed to the office and pulling up in his truck I thought he was just part of the track crew and was going to keep driving in front of me, turns out it was mr shaw, and I got that from the horses mouth, that and when he was talking to this fellow that has been around racing since age 4 his dad built indycars in the 70's and from scratch at that, nice old guy and we talked for an hour i think, I belive his name was jack or jim he was from around dayton ohio he said, and apperantly the usac guys know him well as he went right up and was talking to them crewing the race, and the track owner when I saw him earlier in the night and he said all that stuff I did not belive him at first though he might have had too many beers but he was for real, and talked about the old days and the drivers he knew and saw and crewed for including bryan clausen for a time. as for garrett that filmed the race at winchester I asked around and could not find you among all the guys with cameras at the track that I saw by the stands and in the pits, sarry maybe next time.
