From '78 to about '04 I think I missed one yr (first year out of college and no accrued vacation). Since that time I have let my photography credentials lapse and do not make it down there much anymore. 26 years is a long time following that sport and it was, quite frankly, not as much fun as it used to be. I just feel damn lucky to have seen the best of the best race at that track (Kinser, Wolfie, and Sammy) together and have many of my own photos of them to look back on (God I sound OLD).
Anyway, I made it last Thursday (360 qualifier) when my nephew was racing and am trying to bargaining again on the home front for Thursday 410 qualifier. I know a driver from Maryland racing on Thursday who is pretty good and enjoy watching him run and visiting after the races. I really prefer the qualifying nights versus Saturday but the final night has a lot of tension with $150,000 to the winner.
ANYBODY BUT SHATZ.
P.S. For those of you who have an interest in racing and never taken in sprints at K-ville, I recommend it. Simply the fastest thing on dirt with an AWESOME power to weight ratio. 1200 lbs cars with 800+ hp is an incredible combination.
