I remember by the end of the day it was sometimes hard to find our slip because there were so many in the box, seems alot of people didnt bother to go get them. There was one guy with a vega deep staging, I had no understanding why, but he won alot. Seems like a long time ago. My current super stock would've been a brand new car then.

I grew up at the Ardmore track ,just got home from there today watching a few customers,and I believe the mph chart is still in the bottom of the tower....when I was about 9 or 10 yrs old,my mom sat in a booth with a phone and I handed out the hand written slips before the “tube” came along.....Victor Penrod
