@indyfan22k I definitely want to. The only way I can do it is to re-upload it.

I totally agree that it should have stayed dirt.  Dirts for recing and asphalt is for getting there.

I was at the race that day. I was thirteen and met A.J. while he was talking to the driver of the car that my dad had built and wrenched on. We raced IMCA in the midwest but came to this show to dabble in USAC. I saw all the greats and met many of them. We race against Parnelli Jones at our home track in Pitsfeild Il and I stood with him and our driver, Jerry Blundy, while we ate Hot Dogs before the race. Jerry was enshrined in the Sprint Car Hall of Fame at Knoxville Ia. Great memories.
