Over the weekend I posted an article on the IOW board wrote by Dick Berggren, talking about the closing of a number of short tracks over the past thirty years. Much of what Dick said in his article not only applies to track owners and promoters, but can also apply to racing organizations or sanctioning bodies. In todays economy will USAC still be around in 2009 (....10, ....11, or ....12?)
Greg has devoted the past three years to USAC as an offical. Did the powers to be at USAC listen to what the car owners, drivers, crews and fans wanted when it came to keeping Greg Staab on? That is a definite NO!!!! How many other issues or concerns of the car owners, drivers and teams will fall on deaf ears?
I have only had the pleasure of knowing Greg Staab for about six years, during that time frame I have witnessed first hand his devotion to the sport we all love. He truly is a friend to the racing community.
Good luck Greg, you know the rest of my thoughts, they aren't printable on the IOW board.
