Its a 2 day event they have held in Kinston for 21 years. Its in January and is usually the only show in town. No Swap meet or show just racing. This year they had over 400 cars. Its a old track thats been in continuous use since the early 60's. Its a true survivor. Ronnie Sox, Arnie, Platt, and even Richard Petty matched race here. It got into the night because of a bad wreck Saturday. Maryland racer Marty Martin broke a axle in his 67 Chevy II at the end of his run. It locked the rear end up and the car went air borne while doing about 5 rolls. He only had a lap belt and came partially out of the car before it stopped when the door blew off. He was life flighted from the track. Last word we heard was he was going to make it.
