Re: Lps fire crew
Bloomington PA not a whole lot better. I could hear Pat Sullivan just fine but the others talk way to softly to be heard on the PA.

Re: RIP Parnelli Jones - August 12, 1933 - 2024
Parnelli and Foyt dueling in the early 60's in sprints, midgets, champ cars, road courses. Nothing will ever compare.

No idea what it was like out on the east side; but no way they could have run a race down here on the south side.

Re: Before it starts again
Seems like they had it scheduled Tuesday before the 500 last yr. I wondered why they had moved it back from its prior Wed. date and somebody said the promoter at Circle City took the date with him.

Very few of these guys were still around by the time I started following USAC only eight years later. I do remember Gene Force still wheeling a sprint car at Paragon weekly shows as late as 1970. ...

Re: Inaugural Hoosier Dome midget race
Vogler's dominance explains why the cold didn't seem too bad that night. Maybe also because I was 25 and had to thoroughly check out the new dome's beer selections.

I try to make all USAC races at Terre Haute. Not as many on the schedule as I would like. Interesting no IRP mentions. Guessing there were many of us back in the Thunder days.

I wonder if the Sunday May 5th Rich Vogler race will be in the afternoon. I assume the date change was to finish the Eldora sprint car weekend.
