Pay attention, noobs.

That's the part that has been lost. These guys that I have been posting from The Soo's and Milwaukee made the 200 mile trek not for the money but for the love of racing at the Escanaba and Norway's dirt tracks. They came by themselves, or with one other guy, raced for the weekend and went home.

Bobby Baker ... towed up here from Salt Lake for the IDC and ran all the races ...all by himself.

Thanks Aunty, I miss those days, and the drivers, so much. There will never be anything like that again.
