Tom: I am glad to see that someone still remembers what it was like to race in the 60's and 70's. You are correct there were not a lot of national events. NHRA was the game until AHRA came along. But race tracks ran every night. And every SUNDAY!! And you did not only have to be a BIG name the track had to have cars to run. You might race in our area of North Carolina you might race in Georgia on Monday Night and Capital Raceway on Tuesday. I have seen a match race scheduled as you stated. I have also seen engines washed in a bathtub of varsol at the Holiday Inn assembled and raced the next night 10 hours away. I really wish the old man all the best. I really hope that all of this stir does exactly what it is intended to do get some interest in the cars. Let's see a 10 car match race with Mopar, Fords and maybe the Camaro. Might be a crowd pleaser.

By the way, good job Fletcher thats what Big would expect you to do. Go get him no matter who is in the other lane. Ya'll have fun up there.
