I'm sorry to see they've opted out of the USAC show at Dodge City. Last year they accounted for 8-10 of the entries. That doesn't bode well for the car count at this year's event.

Speaking of the RMMRA how is Gene Pastore doing?? I used to see him at Van Craft when Van was alive and restoring Kurtis midgets. I havent seen Gene for a couple years now.
