I’m happy they are doing this. Hopefully I69 is in better shape than it is now.
I don't like these specific memorial races. It devalues the life of others that died that had a connection to the area or track or what the case may be. Once a year just have a Memorial race to honor all those that have passed away if you want to have an event.
Sometimes if you don’t like something the best thing to do is to keep that opinion to your self.Quote:

I feel like the race should be held at Brownstown IMO. Not a knock to circle city at all. CJ was a known runner, and was very good at Btown in his hay day.
We went through the same thing in my area with Jackie Boggs passing. We had 2 different Boggs memorial style races this year. I always felt like Jackies home track was PRP, and they were the one that didnt name a race after him, they had a kids night.

Why is that?
Isn't that what this site is for to voice your opinion
...only if it coincides with the opinion of everybody else.Quote:

^^Good to know. I’m sure they will honor him in a GREAT way. Will sure miss seeing him.
Has a Rayburn built car even raced at Circle City?
Memorial races can be held anywhere but Brownstown is the more appropriate place to run a race in memory of CJ.
Yes. Seceral. On several occasions. CJ took cars there in 2021. Rohn Moon had a good run going there and broke an engine.Quote:
