My favorite period of local dirt and asphalt racing was from the mid 60s into the mid 70s.  During that time, your big winners would usually come from deep in the pack (starting in the teens).  Today it seems most of your winners come from the top 6 or 8 as it all about "the re-draw".   I'm guessing its harder to come from the back nowadays as the hot rods are so even.  However, wouldn't it be more exciting to see the Williamsons, Sheppards and Friesens racing from the back of the pack rather starting in the single spots?  Maybe have a  half way caution break to bunch up the field.  Would love to hear 3Wider comments.  Scott Ely
