Most impressive ISW performance: To me it was JJ Yeley at Terre Haute, in the Stanton car. Fast qualifier. Started 6th. Had the lead and was checking out, by the time they were on the backstretch, after taking the green. He then just demolished the field! At one point he had lapped every car, except I think Shane Cottle and was bearing down on him, when a yellow came out. Otherwise, he would have lapped the entire field!!

I don't remember the year but I'm sitting at Kamp just enjoying a night of ISW racing. I hear this guy a couple rows behind me say.... Well, Bill Gardner is up here somewhere.

I assumed the comment was made to get my attention so I turned around and there sit Danny Burton, talking to someone on the phone. They were asking him for a live update because Indiana Open Wheel was down.

Danny saw me in front of him and said, IOW is down right now. I laughed and said well I don't think I can do anything about it here.

I went home that evening to find out the hosting company had shut IOW down because it was getting to much traffic for the amount of money I was paying for their service.

I spent the next few days moving IOW to a new host and new servers because I found out just how popular Indiana Sprint Week was becoming around the country.

Bloomington 2000. My first ever traditional sprint car race. After the first hot lap session, I was a fan for life. Two out of the first four qualifiers flipped and I told my wife; "these guys are CRAZY !" (she agreed). All night long, every time I saw trouble developing, I'd elbow her and point. She returned the favor when she spotted Kasey Kahne headed straight for the water truck. Jay Drake dominated and lapped just about everybody, but it didn't matter. I was HOOKED!

I believe it was '99 The night after Pletch won Terre Haute at the old Burg.

Can't remember who was the other but two cars, Yelley and another car were coming off four side by side for the checker and Jay Drake Split em for the win. My Dad swore Yelley won, But i seen what happened and indeed Drake pulled it off in the 67 Kunz car.

I thought that was Lawrenceburg. But I trust your memory better than mine. Given the geography, Kamp's makes sense. After you said, in effect, oh well, I had quite a chuckle myself.

The last 5 laps was the first time I had heard the crowd over the sound of the engines. Levi won BC finished 2nd but it was the hardest that I had seen 2 drivers race for a win & a championship to this day. I will never forget walking on the front straight away emotionally drained from the week, from the race, but yet I knew how special it was to be a part of that night.
2009. That was my favorite too. Actually that's my favorite race I've seen to this day. I've never seen two guys want something so bad and fight so hard for it - especially Bryan. That was my first trip to Haubstadt. I took two carloads of people back with me the next year!
