    Steve – it was a hoot and I would have stayed if I had not been on the road all day!  Seemed like a good alternative to the little track a few miles north of New Braunfels (used to be behind a car dealership going Northbound) which had All Day races for many years:

    2 or 3 kids classes (micro-sprints, micro-nascars); various adult mini classes; “stock” (powder-puff) classes; “late models”; outlaws; etc.

    Plus they had a high-speed Kart club, who raced in various flat track setups in parking lots, and the oval.  Plus the Kart club had its own pub in their garage.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
