Thanx Debb, I'm talking about the dirt track cowboys world finals.  

AKA The Knoxville Nationals, Wold of Outlaws grand final or something like that.

It's the biggest sprintcar race meet in the world, with drivers from all over the world all headed to Knoxville, Iowa, for a whole week of sprintcar racing to decide the best of the best in the world.

Ohio Blue Tip

Ya, I'll be there as I have most years.
Let's all meet at Charlie chops swap trailer at noon Sat.
Should be able to find a trailer from Michigan in the swap area under roof.
Hope to see you all there.
Some people try to turn back their odometers
Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I\'ve traveled a long way and some of the
roads weren\'t paved.

Oh ya the museum is a must.. When my mom was alive her and dad and a friend went to knoxville for the nats and they had a ball. They may have gone twice? I cant remember. I do have a knoxville raceway beer can and im looking at it now :lol:  :lol:  :lol: Yup its empty and i dont know if mom or dad drank it :D  Its one of my many treasures.. My mother was in la la land cause she bought a kinser t shirt for my youngest boy and when she got up to steve to have him sign it and told him her grandsons name was steve they talked for about 10 or 15 minutes.. Mom talked about that for months. Steve is a hell of a nice guy and one year at I96 speedway north of here we had a rain out and my youngest and i chatted with steve for about an hour... I didnt even ask for an autograph .. Ha Ha I got it 2 hours before...
