@spacepatrolman never saw crashes @ Island. Early 70's @ Englishtown watched AA/gas Willys qualifying during Summernationals never shut off till almost end of shutdown, lose chute, and roll about 7 times in field, S/S satelite rolling over just past beams after posting 121 mph, and Levi Holmes' Black Knight pro stock Nova crash in beams...they all walked away. something how those moments remain with you, right?
We raced there, 1963 to 1974.....Miss the place and miss the people, racers and the people that worked there................
