Wow that sounds like a pretty good idea but how far back are they talking about. Also are they talking about all the classes because if I remember right someone told me they once had a class called semi-late. Any idea what they're talking and what are some of the names of some of the past champions at these tracks.

The way I took it from talking too him, it goes back as far as 1900 if your that old and there was a racetrack down in that area. Also, any racer from any division that competed down in that area at any time and recognised if you won a championship in any division.

You might call him to varify.

Semi-Late in the early eighties was the same thing as the pro-stocks at OkC. They used to be called Hobby Stocks , then street stocks. Many Factory stocks today are on par with the semi-lates of the eighties.

James Skinner, Steve Young, Ralph Parkinson, and Freddie Street I recognize. I know the other two were big because they were signing autographs too.
