Agreed on Speedworld. I miss it. It was better suited to classic events. And I also think WHP is a little more biased toward big national events, as well as being pricey. The PH swap meets back in the day were awesome!

If I saw a 71 Nova running a turbo sbc, I can appreciate it. 70's truck doing 12's on the track? Yup. I can get down with that event. LS powered classic? I have a soft spot for that too. I would like some variety and excitement.

I wish somebody would open up a 1/8 mile track around here. At least we could have some options track-wise.

I agree, you sound like a "true" car guy by all definitions. I also enjoy the variety.

Up here (about 5 miles from my house) they have been working to try and open an 1/8 mile track. Construction had started, but has halted. Opposition of course from near by houses. Oddly, there has always been a circle track there running sprints long before the houses were built. But you know how that goes.... It's so hard to open a dragstrip anywhere these days. But hopefully the process goes through, that would be my new playground. I feel with only Wild Horse around, and 2 hours away for me, that another track is needed now more than ever.

Even though we are 5,000 ft up and the cars would go a second slower, it's still racing and it's all about fun for me. That's what they make correction factors for anyway right?
