    Wythe

    That was a yawner with 16 cars and only a couple of passes in the main (all I watched.) I don't know if it's true that it's in the middle of nowhere but it looks like a nice facility with a wide track that looked, on the tube, to be in good shape and very raceable. That car count and the racing itself doesn't make me want to go there and it's highly unlikely I ever will. 'Bout all to take from that race was that O'Neal's season is well on the way to being terrific, whether in his regular ride or Rumley's, and that Overton's is one with no luck whatsoever.
    Glad when it was over and I switched to the USAC show at Red Hill where 3 of the top 4 finishers were NorCal guys from a 100 mile radius of my digs. While my area is more than saturated with about a dozen variations of Sprints the Indiana area is the place to go for the non wingers. Probably watch more of them tonight after a quick look at at the Southern LM show. Nothing interesting enough around here tonight to attend so will spend the day on a bunch of little things on our #1 car before our season gets going in a couple of weeks.

      Wythe is in the mountains and the view is worth the trip. Just like any big track, the racing can be hit or miss (I will say it is one of the few tracks I believe races better than it appears on television). Everyone wants to prep the track for record speeds, wish they would slick it off and let the drivers have more say in the outcome.

      Taz is a small track and the racing wasn't much different (and it usually races well itself)....

          That is about average for that place. It's not for everyone.

            They can pass at Wythe but the lack of competition and an awful format lead to boring product.
