Just thinking back today while watching the Derby......Anybody else remember when ABC Wide World of Sports carried the Tony Hulman Classic and the Kentucky Derby live on the same program?
I'll always remember the day I got home from Terre Haute after a fabulous time watching the Hulman from the infield in turn one. I called my brother to tell him all about it, and after watching the telecast he was berserk telling me about this Rich Vogler guy running the majority of the A-Main after losing his floor pan!! (in the Leyba 74?) Hell I was there and wasn't aware of that...
I do recall he ran the crap out of that car on that day, the first time I ever saw him race. My memory fades me anymore, but this might have been '78 or 79??
Anyway, I sure miss Rich Vogler, I dearly miss my brother Bill, and I really miss how the Tony Hulman Classic used to be a really big deal....
