Karl and mark were winning all the time because of a special engine.  It set fast time all the time and was then pulled.  Never ran the feature.  Would have never held up.  But it did place mark on the pole for the features.  Ted got tired of this and the outlaws changed the rules so the engine that  qualified was to run the feature.  Karl and mark both retired with the change of rule.  The rest of the story... I saw the engine open once while in Chico California in a hotel parking lot. Karl was working on it.  Reminded me of one I had seen open at dragway 42.  It explained why it was never in a feature.

The race on Tuesday at Lernerville  was awesome.   Someone had up a link for dirt vision that was having problems  and I caught it. X loved it ...thank you for posting it.   But as good as it was ...  I remember one even  better.  The king of the outlaws himself... mr Steve Kinser was dueling with one Sammy Swindell up at Lernvillle.  The race stayed green for the distance and Steve was coming up threw lapped traffic. I remember thinking WoW  this man is good!!! The two of them Were putting on a daring lesson for the pack.  Oh my!  The way they handled traffic both inside and out was amazing .  It was mighty fine racing.  

I have a thing I do in my mind.   I have a ole list Of memories that I arrange in my mind to make a perfect day.  When something is so good.  I add it to my favorite day.  There is a lot of  memories of fireworks that I loved and pets and sunsets and wind storms...visits to the ocean and sitting fireside...etc...etc...  and some racing.  Oh yeah!  But I will always remember that day ... because...That was the day I understood exactly why this outlaw was Thought of as king.

Now some will ask what was the very Best!  Well... on dirt it goes to a race at lake isle speedway.  I am told the track itself is nOw just a distant memory plowed under by a farmer who had bought it.  But I remember the first night it opened with  a new owner.   Since I was just a guest and not a regular there I did not know the teams.  The late model feature ended four abreast for the win.  Wow!  They came all sliding out of four ...full throttle for the flagman...where I was sitting...and it can still put a smile on mY face.  And sorry but I do not know a single one of the drivers involved.  But it still makes my race list for my perfect day.  Along with King Kinser and mr. Swindell.  There is a good reason why they are legends in their own time.

I'll say this about Larson:

I don't know a single man who hasn't made a mistake. Larson, like every man, made a mistake. This is nothing new. He apologized from his heart and he gets full forgiveness in my opinion.

Now his racing... Are you kidding me!?!? In 2020 he was epic. He made every other dirt track driver look like they were a kid learning to ride a bicycle. Here in 2021 I don't think there's much rust on Young Money. I'm pretty convinced that if he were running fulltime with the Outlaws he'd be dominating.

WOW.
