How many tracks have you raced at or been to ?

Bret,
I have an old 8mm movie from the Gatornationals from I believe 1974. If I remember correctly, The Pollution Packer crashed there too. I was thinking that was the crash that took Anderson's life. Do you remember who was driving the car at the Gators? I think I remmeber Capt. Jack McClure was there with his rocket kart also but I'm getting old and some of the memories are a little blurry these days.
