Maybe a stupid question, but my 500 memory does not go much past 1984. Are Rodger and Jeff Ward related? I know Jeff rode motocross alongtime before going to Indycars for a few years. Just wondering, thanks

Something I have wondered for years, how those old Offy's digested so much dirt, and kept running, most I ever saw on one was the rock screens they ran on them, and they weren't any picnic to re-ring either, a real PIA. Just never failed to amaze me, when we go to such technical extremes today, to keep the air as clean as we can. Bob

More evidence on why they need to narrow the tires up. Multi groove racing on a dirt mile. Heck of a show, wasn't a freight train we see now a days.
