Oh man, I`m gonna have to agree that is some of the best racing, bar none. Hard to find these days unless you are lucky enough to be around some still small tracks.
Some of the best racing ever around here was at a dirt track stuck back off in the sticks about 15 miles on a sand road back in "the days". Old coupes and such , chopped down and built under shade trees, barns and makeshift garages.
I was also lucky enough to witness the makings of WoO. This was before big money sponsors got involved and turned it into total commercialism as far as backing, etc. goes. Watching Slammin Sammy, King, Madden duke it out when they still did their own thing was awesome.
I still love to watch WoO races, but it`s just not the same now.
We have one track around here that had, until recently mostly homegrown sprints, but it has slowly became big business like the rest. Sort of a shame, but understandable from a business perspective I guess.
