Comments: I just want to thank you for the good memories as I was only 9 years old and UncleTony Anthony Ghilloti would take your ticket and hand it back as i was there with Lori johnson and Ginny Wilkinson,Nothing better than sitting behind a supermodified at bills shop as he was working on your moms pinto. A safety net in the making
Comments: Remembering the smell of the moist cool clay and gathering the used tear offs on a dirty night. Waking up on sunday morning with fiberglass in your cheek from the turn 1 "new" bleachers.... good times. I was at that track from the time I was 3 weeks old to the day it closed. A sad day indeed. Jimy Gordon was a close family friend that still affects our lives today. His untimely death was a blow to everyone who knew him. I wasn't conceived at the time of his death but the wreck haunts my parents.Remembering the smell of the moist cool clay and gathering the used tear offs on a dirty night.

Comments: You REALLY need to modernize your site and make it easy to find out where exactly you are (without having to call/phone someone) :(
Was interested in the "2011 Hall of Fame Inductions and BBQ" - as mentioned on KSTE 650 AM's "Cruz n Talk" show.
Sadly, I give up trying to figure out where you are...

Comments: I think capital speedway was one of the best tracks and entertainment back then. I had a chance to get invovled in the destruction derby then against the Bakers and other greats.
