Great Job KO and Greg. Nice read.

Greg had a victory lane photo from IRP in his shop for years. While I never did work for his team. I occationally stopped by and helped. Helped at the track once in awhile or just stopped by. That particular night I had gotten off work. Driven the hour and a half to the track after work, Just like Greg did and spent the whole race outside in the stands. Going nuts from the slide job he did on Pup to win the thing. I ran thru the tunnel. Walked over and congratulated him and he said "Come on, Were going to Victory Lane!" Im standing on the left nerf in that victory lane photo and hadn't done a thing.

Oh wait, Hed been having trouble with vibration on the asphault and brought the wheels and tires to me to ballance. How do you balance a tire that has so many marbles on it its nearly imposible????????? Must of been good enought. Great Job Greg! You still look at the Usac National list of even one time winners vs all the racers who've ever raced and its pretty thin. Your in there!

Chuck, who's been in several victory lane photos on Street Stocks, LMs but thats the only Sprint Car and it was the first pavement race I had attended.

Same could be said of the CRA midwest tour. Seeing the big boys from out west come out was Awesome.

Couldn't have come up with a better scenario myself. I believe Greg is onto something with that idea. USAC has hurt and screwed over alot of people and seem to not care one bit or take one ounce of concern in right the wrong they have done to people.

Ofcourse I shoud just shut my mouth cause I don't know the whole situation (right Spridge) or maybe the main reason is I m not a member of USAC and have no right to complain unless I am a member. Oh wait, I am a USAC member.

Hmm, guess I do have a reason to complain about things.

Keith, I still talk to car owner Bill Hicks about Atherton sailing his ride out of the park that night and you should hear him describe! Over 20 years later and he is still amazed!!!

Boy oh Boy... There is two sides to every story

My God what a great article. Boy did that bring back a lot of great memories.

I have to agree with Stabb on his Silver Crown observation. Once USAC gave the owners a reason to do something else, that is what they are doing. USAC hurt many feelings with that deal.

Great Job!!! Well Done!!:thumb Very nice interview

You're absolutely correct, I agree. This would be an ideal opportunity to hear the other side of the story. Patiently waiting.....

They need to get over it.

This is new management and the new management is on the chip about making the old cars work.

Of course the new management is 100% about business. They won't hang on to a series that gets 16 cars a race forever.

The survival of this series lie strictly on the car owners at this point.
