If I could go back in time, I'd sure like to ____________ race again!

Fill in the blank!
 
I'd sure like to "see the chevy rebellion and chuck wagon drag" race again! Doubt many seen these race at I55 drag strip on there back wheels
 
Or Wib Spaulding Lou Thery Bob Whitehead to name some more. Place id like to race again would be godfrey Speedway. Miss that place every year
 
since i raced against most all mentioned its hard to pick a favorite but bellville has two of my top picks,,dandy don and art grose...i have run against all the wallaces even got lectured by russ for taking out rusty at tricity..macon this very season was a top rated experiance,,nascar night featured kenny,kenny and tony..got in the same heat race with all 3 of them and the feature...
 
For me, it would be watching the supers at fredricktown before they moved the back strait wall in.. dixon, the hammer man, and many others that put on some of the most exciting and door to door racing ive ever seen at any track!!!
