You're 100% right about the sight of a sprinter on an open trailer and kids.
In 1970, as a young lad of 11, my family took a vacation, where we spent a rainy Saturday night in Terre Haute. My folks...
Thanks for the information. I know Mike Clark, along with LOTS of others have put a
lot of work into making this happen. Jack was a great guy and super race fan. Just wish
I could have been there...
Could someone provide a little info on Jack's memorial award?
How much was raised, who other than the hard charger got $$?
Most importantly, did you get his van there and have the social ...
I was at Eagle Raceway in Nebraska for an Outlaw race in '85.
Sammy crashed Brad Doty, turning him over. During the red flag, I went to the car to get some film for my camera. Being in a wheelchair,...
All of the drivers who ever strapped into the mighty Novi!
Ralph Hepburn, Cliff Bergere, Duke Nalon, Jimmie Davies, Bill Cheesbourg, among many others already listed.
Is Sammy planning on running some USAC/non-wing races? Last time I remember him without a lid in a sprint car was at the CRA race in Hales Corner, Wi.
in the beautiful black TMC sprinter. That would...
On their website it also shows the weekly sprint car show being wingless!
I would rather see USAC at Lakeside also, but beggars can't be choosers, just happy to see USAC in the neighborhood.
It was indeed a shock to hear of Jack's passing. Jack's van was always the gathering place before or after the races. "There's the cooler, get yourself a beer!" was the first words out of his mouth...
Thanks to the Gundaker's for putting on this great event. Thanks to the car owners and drivers for putting the equipment on the track for us, and thanks to USAC and PowerI for working together to...
Obviously you have only attended races in the internet age.
Before computers, we had to wait for the sanctioning bodies schedule to come out in the Speed Sport News (with no directions), cut it out...
I don't know why they at least couldn't have finished the season out, and given it a proper send off like Ascot's final race. It doesn't look like the place is overflowing with cranes....
The first...
It's a real shame to see this great event become an afterthought to a NASCAR weekend.
It was always great loading the RV in the Missouri winter, heading out for a few weeks in the desert, with the...
Obviously you have never been around anyone who has suffered paralysis from a spinal cord injury. Instead of saying "who cares", you should thank God, *****, Buddah, or just fate, whatever your...
I can't help wondering what the coming years might bring? Say Emmet does get some Lucas Oil $$ behind him and creates a series similar to the Lucas Oil late model series? There are lots of late model...
Here is the broadcast of the Ron Shuman Classic at Lakeside Speedway. Emett's interview is at the begining. Lots of torn up equipment last night. I hope everyone is alright. Once they got going,...
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
Wouldn't it be nice if all of the cars could be in the same place at one time, then next week do it again at the other track! Wait, that would require a...
