David- i hope that wasn't a cheap shot, but that's how you're coming off. When we first met, i'm pretty sure you were cool and young. Don't be one of those bitter guys like duke!! my dad was born in 1945, and he's seen it all. From indy to knoxville to ascot to winchester.....he's seen so many great things that i wish i could have seen...but he always reminds me that as great as things were then, he still appreciates what he's seeing to this day. He's seen some great races, and some great racers, and some amazing sights - but those weren't necessarily better than what he sees now. He thought indiana midget week was some of the best stuff you could see, and i'm sure he'll love this year's indiana sprint week just as much as he did the knoxville nationals he saw in the 70s. I just wish everyone could enjoy it the way he does....we have a blast regardless.
