I saw this morning that the great Rick Ferkel has passed away. He truly was one of the sport’s best. I remember him on many occasions, but a couple that stick out was the last race of the inaugural WOO season going into Eldora. He and Steve both could win it and I believe Rick lost a tire and put him out of contention for the title. Another good one, might have been the same year, but definitely when the Outlaws were more legit and ran Sprint Cars like God intended and the other way. Anyway it was the old Santa Fe Park, Outlaws properly run, and Rick spun twice and still finished second I believe to Johnny Beaber. I hope my old memory is accurate. Either way we lost a great one
