Is this a fall out from the Summer Nationals show? I have heard that the local authorities were not happy about how the stands were packed with very few masks. I wonder if the show at I55 is now in jeopardy.
We'll be lucky if it even shows around here. A few years ago they made a movie about Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen that I had to wait until it came out at Red Box before I got to see it.
We recently lost two past members of the Highland racing community. Shorty Shumate was a stock car driver at Highland until he was badly injured in a car accident in the early 80's. Tim Klaus was an official of the SARA and the father of drivers Tracy, Wendy and Tim. Lets keep both of these...
I don't like how they have a program called "Countdown To Green" before the start of the race and it still takes over a half hour to get the race started after that program.

Is the facility still intact? I drive by there whenever I go to see friends and relatives out west and wonder what became of it. I only went there once but enjoyed the experience.
I haven't seen near as much negative stuff on here this year as in years past. I figured this board would be smokin' after the Shirley incident at the Pevely SN show but I did not see a word. I thought maybe there was a new place for people to vent.
That has to be the biggest crowd that I ever saw at Highland. Does anyone know if it was a record? I have seen them turn people away at the fair race but that was before they added on to the stands on the ends.
How many championships would Gordon have if they kept the old system? At least six, maybe seven. Maybe there should be an asterisk beside his name like MLB did for years with Babe Ruth and the home run record. What I personally think is that they are going to keep tweaking the system until they...
I don't ever remember a Modified motor getting claimed at Highland, maybe a Street Stock motor once. I do remember it happening several times at Brownstown in the early 90's.
