Went last night to watch Sammy Swindell and others race at my local track called Western Springs. Its located in a residential area...5 minutes from my home because they started racing there 80 years ago in 1929.

Here is the report from last nights action.....I didnt stay for the final as I had to be up at 4 am for work but I watched Sammy race 2 heats...and he won the second one

I'll try to add a few pics if I can. Everyone has free access to the pits so I was able to get a few decent shots of Sammy and Jerry Coons Jr

It was great to be back at the track!

open this link and scroll down to the bottom to see who visited Western Springs in the 87-88 season
