Admittedly, I haven't been around as long as some of you guys, but at 40, I don't recall ever going to a divisional held at that track. Won't be holding my breath waiting for it to happen.

Your Papa won the divisional there in 1974 in the blue Cuda. Don and I were so excited, jumped on the mini bike to go to shutdown area. Don thought I was on, took off, and I butt planted in front of the bleachers, which were packed (not seen often since!). Those were the good ole days!

The Pomona divisional I referenced earlier was in August of 2001 or 02. It was held in early August and it was miserably hot. Your comment of the heat is certainly well founded. A year or so ago, we had Winternationals on the last weekend of July, it was pretty bad. We started about 10:30 or so, got two runs in during the absolute heat of the day, and round one was about 6:30 or 7 PM. It absolutely kicked our collective posteriors. Even if you had a motor home with A/C, you had to come outside and face it sometime. That's the kind of heat that takes about half the next week to recover from. They even moved the annual county fair from September to May just because of the heat. April or May or even mid October would be pretty nice.
