I would like the change of The Rich Vogler Classic go from Winchester to Salem.
Rich was good at Winchester, but he was good at a lot of tracks. He passed at Salem and I believe that is where his memorial race should be held.

Kyle, would you call that the Grouchy Geezer Memorial??

JUST KIDDING!! Allen and Butch are both great guys and both taught me a lot over the years! One of my roughest summers was working for Allen and his landscaping business. The man tried to kill me I think! :O:

Jake since they are both still alive it would be called a classic first.

How about a Chuck Amati Classic at Haubstadt?

Due to his past successes at Terre Haute, USAC and the action track should have the Gary Bettenhausen Classic. 50 lapper. With Gary presenting the winner with a Winchester Rifle in victory lane....ahhhh, good times! :thumb

I'd go to that race every year. Not only should there be a race named after Chuck Amati the Hall of Fame driver, but also Chuck Amati, one of the sport's great ambassadors and showmen. In the days that everybody went to the pits right after the feature, you could tell that few drivers relished the chance to interact with the fans, as did the One Armed Bandit.

How bout a Talk2Drivers.com classic at your local bar/pub???

Seriously.... when Haud retires there should should be a Jac Haudenschild Classic at Eldora. Does ANYONE ride the wall there like Haud does? After he won the Royal in 98.... we asked him why he was bouncing the RR off the wall in both corners every lap. He said "When the cushion is that high... you're not FAST unless the RR bounces off the wall." The man is a BADA$$ at Eldora!
