  1. Sweet. When I was a kid, my daddy's company provided electricity to the local racetrack. The owners would throw him tickets on occasion and he would take me. It was mostly stock car racing. Stock car racing had its roots from Prohibition and moonshine running (the transportation of unlicensed whiskey from stills in rural areas to metropolitan communities). It was racing at its finest. The cars were 1956ish Fords and Chevrolets. The rear ends were jacked up so when the trunk was was loaded the car set normally. The races were a result of Prohibition being lifted and the runners needing a use for their high powered cars - which were designed to outrun law enforcement. It was racing at its finest; good old boys racing dirt tracks, stands built from old power poles and scrap lumber, Budweiser and untaxed hooch flowing, the backfire of the V-8's as they circled the track... Precious memories. Your experience was pretty darn awesome. It was a bit more polished but looked fun as hell. I am jealous! Thanks for sharing.
