We paid all for gas, motels, food, tolls, oil changes, ect....I could give .02 what you think you know, state facts not something you heard or rumored. Check with any of your friends at USAC there should be records.
I went to Colby Kansas once with 7 cars for the lowest car count at any event, I attended Hut 100 with mid 70 car count, did several midget races with as many as 66 pavement cars. I really can not take credit for high car counts as well as low car counts were not of my doing. My job was to enforce the rules all of which were made by myself and owners and drivers sitting down and agreeing on! And ,yes I do have an ax to grind, when I was let go because I refused to allow a cut back in medical expenses by a man that made what Kevin made. I do not need you to inform me what Kevin makes as it is a matter of public record, just like DUI's are. Like you said I bring a lot of factual information, why not do the same.
The 2nd generation car was none of my doing just as Ken Shrader, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart,Ryan Neuwman, Carl Edwards, Jason Lefler, ect...advancing under my time there is not because of me.
Previous president $110,000 is real close.
Mopar Million $250,000 to win! Silver Crown all paid $10,000 - $20,000 to win, not the standard $8000 of today. Again, none of those purses reflect on me, had nothing to do with them, more facts, seemed I have answered all your questions, does anyone think I am winning. This is all about being the most macho internet troll ?
Now that is a good reply. I always said I had a lot of respect for you as an official. That is why it is bad you continually beat a dead horse. Things are constantly changing, and I feel that most of the time things are not always better, but it is constant. I have a saying that nobody wishes it was 1978 more than I do, but it is gone and not coming back. I wish that wasn't true. You had some really good years sit back and enjoy them, and when the new bunch makes progress, be proud that you helped lay the foundation. I still haven't seen you, and will be sure to say hi when I do. You might take a poke at me, but I feel like you deserve that respect.
