Hicklory

"The most famous short track in the country."  Attended as a fan in the stands

+ $13 admission, 11 senior. a very good crowd, lower front stretch tiered concrete for lawn chairs, grand stands above

nothing fancy at the place, might put it in the same catagory as Grandview. Track surface looks pretty worn, good lighting.

- Time trials for all classes (at 5 oclock) heads up line up.

+ racing started within a couple minutes of 7:00 schedule

4 division show, features only with late models twin 40 laps, limited late models, street stocks, super trucks

- car counts 10 late models,  8 limited late models, 7 street stocks, 8 trucks

small fields with heads up line ups did not lead to alot of exciting racing but it did have a few good battles

other than interviewing top 3, races were run right after each other. final checkered at 9:20

was nice to visit a track with it's history but I will head to other tracks on any future visits to the area

My wife and I went to Latimore Sunday for the EMMR Convention.  

Good points, finally got to see the restored Brad Doty, Bowers Coal Co. 28D Gambler.  Walk through the museum and chat with Lynn Paxton and Steven Bubb.  Plus the Ken Brenn induction, but he was not able to attend.

Bad points, only a hand full of cars there.  So few we left before track time.  Also, not many young people there, Stoney Miller's [owns the 28D & Boop's 1] daughter and son, really don't remember any others.

Drove over and went to the Grove friday niten.  (Edited:  There was a nasty looking wreck.)

Went to Latmore sat. The museum is great , lots to see in there, car cruise was also good, but the vintage car turnout was pretty sad
