As much as I love the cars in Stock and Super Stock, breakout racing is only interesting if you are the driver.

Didn't you mean to say....If you want spectators you have to give them CRASHES....unless you are talking about Norwalk.....

If that's what you want to believe, then maybe so. But if you watch the video, the racing shown was the equivalent of todays small tire type racing. Cutting technology running on the edge. So the spectators came to see it.

No red lights in those days. Starting line anticipation won a lot of races. Harrells and Rondas cars were bad ***.
