That he did, Dad, that he did. Got to see some of the Saturday Night Gary & Larry Shows in person at my old home track in Ventura; set the VCR, head to the track, come home and watch it again the next day. Tony Stewart and Kenny Irwin Jr. bangin' wheels just for a heat win. Good times.
I guess picking up the inside on the right-handers would eliminate the tire scrub; that is, until Tommy tipped all the way over and started scrubbin' the tops...

I think this guy has just about the right technique; all he needs is a helmet and a firesuit.
Come to think of it, he looks a little like Scott Pruitt...

If a sprint car can handle a road course a midget can too.
