Puppy, I think you totally misunderstood my post! I'm talking strictly about caring about the talent of Sprint Car, Midget, & Champ Dirt Car Drivers, like Tony George did!! That's my background as a FAN & a RACER.
** I NEVER SAID THAT GUYS LIKE Dixon, Helio, Kanaan, etc., don't have an enormous amount of talent!! I said, unlike Tony George, Roger Penske, is making No efforts for the Sprint, Midget, & Champ Dirt Car Drivers!! It's obvious by the schedule at 75% Road & Street Courses. He has the resources & connections, but chooses to do Nothing. 😉 |

The great days of dirt cars on mile dirt always produced a great Championship year. I remember
Ruby running the rear engine car on a few dirt tracks. Those days the foreign drivers ran the Indy 500 and went home. A few stayed for Milwaukee mile. Took the dirt cars out of points and foreign drivers stayed. Any body know how this Happened? Lynn |

Gateway had some good races with very respectable crowds.

It really is pretty simple. The Speedway fell in love with rear engine cars and the European mystique. Before I get flamed I understand it was a natural development for pavement racing. The problem is the powers that be decided that dirt racing was not deserving of inclusion primarily because the owners were now predominantly from a road racing background. Isn't it ironic that the most increasingly popular styles of motorsports are on dirt. What goes around comes around.
