[Greg Reimer 7376]

Back in the mid '70's,I raced fun&grudge and ET brackets at Irwindale.It closed,we went to Orange County.It closed, and we raced at Riverside.All brackets. During that time, I got involved with Chuck Norton,Tony Janes,et all, and drove a stocker at Winternationals in '83.That was a different world, and nearly the only game in town,so I modified my operation from brackets to Stock Eliminator.Riverside left off in '88,leaving us in a bad way with only two national events at Pomona for race fodder.All grade-point earning points races were out of the area. That meant towing to Bakersfield or Phoenix a few times.As far as I was concerned, Stock was it. Years later, Fontana came along, then a regular program, then the new Irwindale 1/8th mile track, and the Summit series. We're back to both worlds again, and it's fun again with a few choices along the way. All these tracks seem to draw a crowd of some kind, and yes, shoe polish is a common denominator. Whatever turns you on,I'm grateful for all of it.
