We have a Nascar sanctioned track here in Kalamazoo and the one night I went there was none of this follow the leader biz so common at the FL tracks, every class running it came right down to the wire. It was also unusual to see a lot of Late Models at the track on open trailers like back in the 70's.

do you know if New Paris is changing up their enduro rules this year or are they going to keep running 6 and 4cyl FWD together?

I couldn't tell ya, I've only been up here a year and although I've heard of it, I don't even know where New Paris is. The tracks in my immediete area are K-zoo, Galesburg Speedway, M-40 Speedway, and I believe Berlin raceway is further up the road in Grand Rapids. I think with K-zoo it's FWD 4 cyl only.

I think with K-zoo it's FWD 4 cyl only.

yeah, i know. we haven't been to K-zoo since they went to 4cyl only. i think Plymouth Indiana is copying K-zoo's enduro book.

i don't think the Electra ever made it to K-zoo but Ron did run Quincy with it one time.




although I've heard of it, I don't even know where New Paris is.

New Paris is south of Goshen Indiana on St Rd 15. little bit of a ride if you actually live in K-zoo. they were getting cars down from K-zoo though.
