Besides a 410 in a Champ Car would never go 100 miles, they would suck too much fuel, unless you want to go back to the fuel stop.
God I miss the late 80s and the early 90s! That's when Champ Dirt Car racing had its best racing and highest car counts! That's before USAC started messing with a good thing!  |
Should have seen the 60's and 70's then JT. Skinny tires no cage and pure car and driver. Maybe not as fast but much much better to watch and they were trying to get somewhere then "INDY". Heck they didn't even know about stagger back then but they goterturned somehow.

Yeah. Went there once. It later went out of business.
And by the time he got fired, IMS was losing $20 million per year. Randy Bernard at least has returned it to break-even.

RJ did you click on that link Vukie put up a couple of posts ago.
Remember Just say "no" and you will never be wrong. Open wheel racing in general needs to be either fixed or shot. Outlaws doing great! Sprint cars not making any money, Midgets are a great tax right off, and most of the grandstands are empty "GO FIGURE".
PS I think Tony had just finished winning a very expensive war.
