arob Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yes , tons of memories at CCS. The first race I attended was there in 1956. I remember the top class the cars had no fenders front and rear.I remember the flathead Fords were the hot engine. It was not unusual to start 30 cars in a feature in some classes over the years. And how can you forget how rowdy the Australian Pursuits were! I think I'll run by there and see if they will let me get a chunk of race track asphalt. Dale Jr. needs to send a crew down for Lost Speedways before it is too late. You know Lucky Number Programs would be a cool thing to bring back to the tracks of today.
