The mind goes blank
"I know there used to be some tracks; in particular down in Florida and out in Arizona and such; which either wouldn’t run in the summer or would start late on Saturday to beat the heat. But as far as the northeast here, I can’t remember that happening."

Re: The mind goes blank
Good read John. My former Arizona track would start late on Saturdays but not all the time. Great place, great times, great memories....sad to see it go.

Re: The mind goes blank
For those of us that were at Byron IL in 2001 for The US Class Nationals, we will tell you about hot. MUCH worse than the weather we had here last week

Re: The mind goes blank
At LVMS they do not run any local Track Point meets during the summer.
They have a few "Midnight Madness" night races for street legal cars primarily for the kids. If a promoter wishes to rent the track for their own events..... They will do that but it is a fortune to do so!

Re: The mind goes blank
I remember in the early 70’s Englishtown used to race on Sunday nights during the
summer months. Opened at noon I believe and around 5pm was first rd of Eliminations. Modified Elim guys used to come from the top end side road and go around the old tower to the burn out box. They were fun times.
