Hey Battalionfan, love your old vids on you tube.
I helped out Dave Whitlock back in his 1991 Championship season. Have lots of pics from most of the races. Mainly of Dave but alot of others as well. Also a few programs.
I also have a New Smyrna Speedway program with a few pages of stories and pics from their trip down south. Will have to get it out and check the year. If you are interested, let me know and I can scan and send you the pics. Send me a pm please or email me. I am not on here too often.
Hope I can help!

Will looking back at some results I see there were events that were known as "Triple 50's"
I was wondering how those events worked.
I'm assuming there were 3 50 lap races but what im curious to find out is, were they 3 totally seperate races with seperate points?
were they elimination events, for example like a Winston Cup all star race where after each 50 lap segment some cars are emlinated?
Were the first two 50 lappers heat races to determine the lineup for the final 50?
How did these events work?

These events were only at Barrie I believe. The field was split into two separate 50's and the top 12 from each advanced to the final. They all were equal points.
I think there were promoter choices and i believe they picked a number for inversion. The 2 - 50 lappers starting positions were determind by time trails.
They were quite the night's racing on that extrememly tight 1/4 mile bull ring, the dumpster was usually full of fibreglass at the end of the week end.
