Flatout, that would be funny if 162 people weren't dead.

Sorry FRR, first thing that came to mind, not meant to offend. I get it, too soon given the latest accident. I was thinking more along the lines of the missing plane.

Maybe someone should have told Guy to turn left at the iceberg. No matter how you look at it, he has taken a once great series of the Midwest and driven it into the ground. It would be a great case study post mortim for any business student

That sounds more like it; I remember the Emick name. Don't pay much attention to winged sanctioning bodies, although I've attended several All Star races over the years.

For what it's worth Bert's wife was Brigette. Believe they retired to Florida. They both worked hard keeping that series growing and going.

With a lot of help from Rick Nichols, Chuck Fuller and his wife.

Think its the right move by Jacksonville.

If Rick had been able to take over this series when Bert and Bridget retired I don't think we'd be having this conversation.
