All I need is some funding, if you build it, they will come. haha id love to have my own multipurpose motorsports facility like that one day.
And obviously 1973 was before my time, but with the major cities not being as populated as they are now, TWS may have been a bit of a hike from Houston, or Dallas, and the popularity of say, Nascar vs. Indy cars in the southern states may have had something to do with it.
Great pics from the vintage event, if you have more, id love to see them. Looks like I may never get to see an event here.
