Dick,
What did you mean by the post. We are sure going to miss the "short track" racing. Best of Luck in you're next adventure, what ever it is!
Thanks Tommy and Larry
Don't know all the details but from what im hearing is that classic is closing.
someone needs to correct me right away if im wrong.
classic has been a great place to race carpet for years and years. one of the best tracks in the state. best in the country . and lots of knowledge there to help everyone. and solid competition has always been there to challange everyone at each level. Its a shame because that is one fast carpet track.
It also has been a great 1/4 short track for alot of guys to cut there teeth on. Learned alot on that little track. And have always had some
fun racing , banging doors and wearing out bumpers trying to get by someone.
even rememeber several years in a row that it was a real challange to make the A main. Had to run the heats hard to make sure you made it. couldn't experiment or have a bad run or you were in the C working your way up.
heck, you could be fast and still be in the B having to bump up. Thats how good everyone was running.
This was before anyone even started running sportsman there. We all ran GN.
Anyways,
Walt and others took the dive and got some 1/4s to run and soon it took off.
they learned the big NO NOs and taught all of us who raced there , what to do and NOT what to do. I don't know if most of us would be racing 1/4 scale if it wasn't for those guys. They were the first to go to some big
races too and told all of us what to expect and we were better prepared for that reason.
Thanks walt for many many years of great racing at classic. And teaching so many how to have fun and providing a place to do it.
