Maybe that (and the fact that a M/C engine won) is why USAC didn't post the results, and now has removed the Waynesfield date from the schedule post-mortem? Gage has been doing well at Montpelier and I think that the chain drive contingent will always have a place at that joint, 12-inch rubber and all; I for one don't need the extra expense of new rear wheels and the loss of a ready supply of cheap "scuffs" from the big boys (Happy Birthday by the way Dad, you chain-yanker, you rabble-rouser). Once I get my front end back together and teach myself to stay on the button next weekend at MMS, I plan to support your effort at Union County and Hopefully make it out to Salem and 35 before the Summer's over. It's great that we're starting to have more options.
