Ascot Gardena, gone. Manzanita gone. The golden age of 1/2 mile dirt track sprint car racing has vanished. Thank goodness for these great old videos! Thank you Dan for keeping these great memories alive for all of us older race fans.

So cool to see Deano in his heyday. No one was ever as dominant in CRA until the Demon 25-40 years later. But Hollywood Jack was right: You don't need 900 horsepower to put on a great show. And TYSM to Dan, Don and the rest of K's for keeping the show going in Perris.

Thanks for sharing. I'm from Texas but I did get to attend Ascot once back in 83 it was a night I will never forget, Dean Thompson won the feature and we got really lost on the way back to the hotel. The good days back before GPS navigation when getting lost could be an adventure in it's self especially after dark.😁

Great racing by Jimmy Oskie #3. He has such awesome talent and forever a LEGEND in Sprint Car racing. Proud to call him my friend.

I remember watching Jimmy Oskie racing a Super Modified at the old Tucson Speedway back in the 1960's. He was 16 years old at the time and was already a dirt open wheel prodigy!

My dad started taking me to ascot in the mid fifths. The only ones I remember Alan Heath , with the hook , some Chevys still some Offys. It was great. I came home one day. Brand new quarter midget !! We started racing , a kid named Eddy Lozinsky the little outlaw was no one. His dad Ed Lozinsky and my Dad became best friends he built my motors we raced 22 tracks in S. Cal ! Later my age sent me to race Los Alamitos , Dean Thompson was racing there for the Bromys , Bobby Oliver , Mike Oliver world champ , Rick Gouda and Buster Venard raced SAN Fernando Valley ! I quit at 16. My team mate Eddie Lozinsky. Started again in his twenties lost his life Manzy in Az. Racing was great ! Me and Dad and Eddie and His Dad lived for race days. Dale Cullers. Las Vegas Nv.

So getting sideways in dirt track racing was basically invented at Ascot? That's awesome!

I wasn't really involved intil the 1990's but do remember Dean Thompson, Bubby Jones, Rip Williams, Jimmy Oskie and Buster Venard. Interesting about tires, this was before the soft side tires took over? Most of the sprint shows I watched was at Perris. Who ran that track anyway?
