Don't agree with that. I was at Ventura the night of the "Tribute To Sleepy Tripp" race back in 1992. Sleepy won a race named after him, I think Ron Shuman was second and Jimmy Sills 3rd. was a great race as was good that someone like Tripp could be given a tribute while still racing and winning it made it even better.
Just my $0.02
