Border Wars are good
Great article on the dirt-track Border Wars (Oct. 13). I'm 60 and I had quit going to races. I'd been to Indy, Le Mans, Michigan, Mid-Ohio and got tired of it all. Then two years ago I decided to try it again and returned to my roots of short-track, Saturday-night racing. It was at Eldora for the World of Outlaws. I knew I was home. I still don't go to a lot of races, but when I do it'll be to places like Eldora, Winchester and Oswego Speedway. As long as there are these places, I can see racing instead of spectacle.
