Reading in another thread about dirt track racing. Asinine was the term I believe. Well as asinine is some of this chit that some are swimming in this board sounds I do have to make a comment....

Which do I want to be in....a car on dirt at 125mph or one on pavement at 128...not much difference. The difference is the one's with thier hands on the wheels..

I witnessed Bloomquist and several others race numerous times over the yrs...All on the smaller tracks, not Elduro(?)..watched Bloomquist be leading during the 1st 50 of a 100 lapper. During the 50 lap break he's come in get tires, start dead last and then dominate the rest of the field. Drughead well yes he was or is. Fact he could drive and those that love dirt cars watch him. Some of the earlier racers lare 70's, mid 80's in and around Eastern, Ky were the best in the business. A number few went on the the big dance and Nascar teams.

I personally have been on 3 pit crews for dirt cars. 201 Speedway, ThunderRidge, Isom, Perry County, Clay City and the old track in Salyersville...

It was a hoot and a lot of hard work. One of these teams were silently sponsered by the Hardees team.

And this time of the year is when we usually fired the cars up and started stirring up dust...
