For the Wall guys it was a place to go race, because of previously mentioned, the strike at Wall drove off the Modifieds to Flemington. It impacted the Wall fan because now they had to travel to see the Mods and what was left at Wall was, in my opinion, a terrible headline division in the MAD division.  These were affordable Modifieds and a second division. Jennie Nichol, owner, bit the bullet and got rid of the Modifieds and reduced the front gate and headlined the MAD's. It was pretty bad the first few years but got better. Car counts were very good though and a lot cheaper purse. Most of Wall's fans come from south of the track so it was a pretty good ride to Flemington.  Bad time for everyone.
