Pat,

I wish there were more track owners who show the passion for the racers like you do. I've been in this sport long enough to remember when State Capital Raceway was also an NHRA track (I'm sure you recall it being the home of the former "NHRA Cajun Nationals")! I can't forget it, because I have pictured in my mind a Super Stock final (from the '80's) that had "Steve Bagwell", and one of his famous SS/BA (Belvedere/Savoy) cars in it...the picture of it was taken (from nearly behind the car) at about the 4-5 o'clock (if not the 7-8 o'clock), angle...thus one of the coolest shots of that car I've ever seen...

I surely wish you well with your reply from Graham, and I hope he gets your concerns and reconsiders the negative effect his decision has made on not just us racers, but you track owners as well...Hey "Sporty Bandimere" I hope you and "John Bandimere Jr.", will enter in to this as well, because this has to be having a bad effect on your track as well??? How about the rest of you track owners...after all, there's strength in numbers!!!
