MIDGETS AT ELDORA 1981 -PART 1

[@manga12]

back when openwheel cars were still roundtopped and looked like the sleek roadsters they evolved from before they went flatter on top and more wedge shaped, which Tom Bigalow this many years later helps out at winchester raceway in indiana, told me wind tunneling the newer shape adds about 10 lbs of force to the wheels when they tested it years ago, but so many old legendary names at this race, and mel kenyon the undisputed king of usac midgets and prob will be for a very long time, he would race with one hand and the other with a mitt that had a gromet that attached to the wheel showing even without a hand you can still compete and win, and showing where there is a will there is a way.
