Hey Doc,
Don't appologise for lovin' the US style of Dirt Track.
It is by far the best US derived motorsport - it makes that NASCAR yawnfest look like an overproduced show for rednecks [which it actually is].
I sincerly hope to one day attend one of the Mile events and just soak up the noise of 30 twins. I can still hear the soundtrack of On Any Sunday as I am typing this.
Just magic.

P.S. just as an aside: I did catch a few minutes of NASCAR [it was all I could take] on the Teeve the other night. Man those things have morphed into the BUTT UGLIEST race cars on the planet - and don't mention how they look on a road course - just tragic.
