3 Curiosity Questions......
 
1. When did the weekly Indiana bull rings start becoming split shows with sprints and stocks or have they always been? I know they have been since atleast '80 or so.

2. Why did they install the giant wall and fence on the backstretch of the Indy Fairgrounds several years ago? Right after that they nearly had to cancel the Hoosier 100 due to the front stretch wall being too low. That made absolutely no sense to me. Were there grandiose plans for the back stretch?

3. There's a guy I use to always see at USAC races at Terre Haute and Springfield among other places in central Illinois who looked like Abraham Lincoln reincarnated. He always wore a white tam-oshanter, slacks, carried a thermos, a notebook and binoculars. He smoked a pipe and like I said looked a lot like Lincoln. Always wondered who that was and wish I would've struck up a conversation but haven't seen him lately.

First one to answer all 3 acurately will win a prize!
