Racing is a very time comsuming...often unrewarding sport to be apart of. From the parts chaser to the mechanic,owner,driver,promotor,fan and family; it can be and often is very frustrating.

When my mom and dad had a midget that was driven and co-owned by Bob Wente Sr.; the men would get to eat sandwiches on the way to the track and after the race when they had the purse money; my mom and Pat (Wente) would then eat.

That was a way of life and they didn't think anything about it.

That is/was part of the bond that racers have/had. Everyone sacrifices to be there.

As far as USAC goes; I agree that they take some undue bashing; but that has been brought on by years and years of plain ol' mismanagement. There is no way the WoO and ASCS should be light years ahead of where USAC is.
