"NAMARS was a nice little midget club formed years ago, basiclly in the beginning it was like a championship series of races. I believe Rich Vogler driving for Harry Turner was the first champion. It developed into a sanctioning body, Jack Calabrase had control for a while, then he got out and the people who took it over tried to get TOO big TOO fast and it died pretty quickly. The tie in here might be the fact that a group of guys have started not only a new sprint series from the ground up but now are taking on midgets without having sanctioned any races so far so the fear might be another NAMARS, too big, too fast......

For what it's worth Mr. Cowin, you're grossly misinformed about NAMARS but it really doesn't make a difference at this point in time.
If I am so wrong then correct me, but I know for a fact NAMARS was a group of 5-6 races in the beginning to form a type of championship, Rich won the first driving for Harry Turner. Later it became a club, at some point Jack took over then later it was sold to a group from around Indy who then tried to go too big too fast, where am i wrong? I know there is more to the history so fill it in, also point out where I am wrong please if you can.......
