I am sure many Indiana open wheel fans will remember this driver - Chuck Amati. At least the fans who attended Paragon Speedway in 1988, '89, '90, will remember Chuck Amati. :Steer

Other than Paragon Speedway, I have no idea where else Chuck raced in Indiana.

I last saw Chuck Amati at the WoO race at I-55 Raceway, MO in 2008.

Have a good day...see you at the races :thumb

Chuck also ran at Haubstadt a lot. This guy was definitely someone I looked up to, when I was a kid. Not only was he a big time ass kicker, behind the wheel of a sprinter, he was also probably the most charismatic driver of that era. In a day when everybody went to the pits after the race, nobody was better at greeting and interacting with the fans, than the One Arm Bandit was.

I remember the One Are Bandit running LBurg in the early 90s in a 66 car. If Im not mistaken, HIm or the driver of that car after him won the track championship in it.

Im glad he came back, I had only read about him before and a lot of his career was interupted due to the accident.


Thanks Chuck!

LOL!!! I knew it!!! I was at the 2007 Tri-City race. I remember turning to my buddy and saying "Man that guy looks like Chuck Amati". My buddy replied "doubt it, haven't seen him around for a while". Truly a legend.

Chuck was seen recently helping out his grandson at Jacksonville. If you roam the pits this Friday, you may see him there again.
