you might remember that Mosport's oval originally was supposed to be a dirt track (and actually was built as such before being paved) . Mosport and Brighton might have made an interesting two track circuit if things had worked out.
(sorry Steve-aka Short Track Fan-we got a little off topic here but I guess it just seems to be a trend where the dirt tracks seem to be weathering the economic downturn better than the asphalt operations, but maybe just have better promoters)

Mike, the only local asphalt tracks that I feel make an effort to push the show along are Delaware and Kawartha, with Derek Lynch having learned from one of the best, his father in law, Thomas R. Curley.

I definitely will be doing a lot more dirt shows this year - wow, 32 sprint cars at Ohsweken and only $10!

Joe:
