Cecil you can't smash words together, it just ain't right. Spriget that's a new one on me.
I hadn't even thought of Parnelli Jones, another great driver. Seems today drivers under contract don't get the opportunity to branch out and get behind the wheel of many types of cars like Parnelli/Mario, or they aren't allowed to by contract.
