In 1998 we ran a lot at LPS and man the competition was tough as hell.
Kevin Thomas, Tony Elliot, Brad Fox, DD, Hayden, Robbie Rice, Justin Marvel, Brandon Petty, Kent Christian, Derek Davidson, Kevin Miller. Not a slow driver in the bunch. Every afternoon when we would pull in I knew I was going to be facing the toughest Indiana sprintcar drivers around.
The first night we went up there I left wondering what the heck I got myself into. Had to qualify, then figure out how the heck to run the huge curb that would always develop through turns 3 & 4. I ran a lot of B-mains that year and tore up a lot of floor pans on that monster curb/cushion.

I've got to admit that the beauty that Joe has already done is in some of the smaller things that make a large difference. The bathrooms were re-done with new fixtures and cleaned up last Saturday, plus the front stretch concession stand was re-painted and cleaned immaculately. A beautiful site to the fans I'm sure, but I gotta admit, my heart swelled like the Grinch's when I saw the banner ad at the top of this beautiful site!! Advertising!! YAY!! I love it and I've got fingers crossed for 40 cars at the Putnamville Clash!! Plus, a D.O. sighting would be wonderful as well, I do miss his familiar silhouette gracing the top of the pressbox!!
