I was thinking last night that I think the first time I went to Anderson was 25 years ago for the Little 500 and from that point on I was always excited to go to the track. No I would lie if I said that it felt like a build up to the Little 5 - it didn't - it felt like a regional race - different only in that there was qualifying. In retrospect I think the Silver Crown race hampered this because there really weren't any wild cards in the field. But that said - I love the regional series - of all the things I get to do in racing I enjoy about as much as anything - I like the young drivers - I like working for Don Kenyon - I like the crew that works the races. Donald Davidson went to Mt Lawn last week and called me twice to tell me how much he loved the setting. The car count has been a bit troubling - but the economy hurts everyone. I like the fact that we get there race and go home early. It's not all white knuckle all the time - it is a development series. I can't be at Anderson on Saturday because I work at ORP but I think the 400 will be a lot of fun - and the folks at Anderson have posted a big purse so I hope a lot of people come out for it,
