A slight correction above on the Asheville 1971 win - it was at the 1/3-mile NEW ASHEVILLE track (which is what you correctly have on the actual blog).

As pointed out in your blog post, Richard was right on the money regarding the schedule reduction.

DOH! Thanks for the correction. One hazard of many of copying/pasting. I posted it wrong on one message board. Then I c/p about 4 more places. At least I'm glad I got it correct where it mattered.
