Like your idea of recreating the old days Mr. Hemi Moose...especially the part of going to the older tracks. Often wondered how many times we've gone to a nostalgia event
held at a more modern facility...maybe a "Mega-Plex" and left the show really not feeling being "back in the day?" Perhaps that "feeling" is not important for some of us but.....
Not trying to "knock" the upgraded and fine facilities of today...and of course the larger venues mean a potential for MORE $$$$...more entries and more "fannies" in the seats...
Places like Cecil County...Island Dragway...and Old Dominion...have a "nostalgic" tie
to the Match-race past...as do other tracks all over the nation. Where does one start with ideas...and should the emphasis be on QUALITY rather than QUANTITY?
