It's not coming back. Why, because we lost the crowd years ago. I remember being at Eddyville in, I think 79, and watching Tommy Johnson Sr. race the old Earl Earl's Show Me Shaker C\SM car, and have him visit with the crowd about how he was going to Indy to try to qualify for the nationals, and I'll bet 50 people went from there to Indy to watch their hometown hero try. We don't have that today. Why? Because they totally understand the rules. Because football, and basketball has rules, but each team does not have a pre-recorded dial of what they will score, and if going over costs them the win. Therefore, the crowd understands, and does not like. Sorry, but I can't get hardly anyone to go watch us dial in. Just the truth.
