The lady in the souvenir store was trying to talk me into it! I am tempted. Ride along instructors were not offered on that day. I was there to see a Chicago area sports car club race in late...

Re: Gage Walker USAC IL Post Race

He caught my attention at Lincoln on Sunday. I was unfamiliar with him, and he was fast that night until the engine let go. The next night in Springfield, I kept my eyes on him, and I was once...
