Trackin'

Went out to Angel Park Speedway in my home town of Sun Prairie. Growing up, even thought I was on the other side of town you could hear the Midget races every Sunday night.

The last time they raced motorcycles here was back in 1983.
Looked like the track could have been prepped a bit better.
A good friend Fred Pettis was down with his Harley KR/KHK that he had bored and stroked to just over 900cc   It was the only hardtail in the Vintage Open class, and the only flathead.

Fred doesn't race any more after a bad crash a few years back.  But he has Danny Vrana riding his bikes.
Danny had the lead for most of the race but got passed in one of the last laps.   Steve Kasten, riding a XS650 almost had 2nd place over Danny but couldn't quite pull it.

And I got to meet Chris Carr

This made up for missing Springfield the other weekend, but I still gotta make it to the Mile.   Thats where the real action is.
