I saw on Skagit's site where Damion Gardner is going to strap on a wing and try to win the Dirt Cup this weekend. Good Luck to him, I'm sure he'll represent the Indiana scene well.

isnt DG from california? and still residing there?

He hails from Concord,CA I believe.

I'm think 'the Demon' has been residing in the United States of USAC long enough to put wherever the hell he wants on his bio!!!


That being said..... "Show 'em how we do it in Indiana Damion!!!!"

Good Luck DG Wish you:d stick around here and run some of the local shows though

i think of ppl like jon, dave darland, brady short, bobby east,shane cottle, ect. when i say representing indiana. granite alot of usac racing is done in indiana but not all. i to like the demon. but he is no indiana native. there r alot of others the run usac and also race weekly local shows that arnt from indiana. needless to say he is not one of them. just thought it was odd thats all. i think it wouldve been more fitting to say "showem how the wingless guys get it done".

Well, if you start asking for birth certificates to decide who represents Indiana, I'm gonna worry about ya! You race enough here, we claim you as our own! Ask Jeff Gordon!!!!! just playin!!!

Seriously, though why does it matter? Do you think there's something magical about being born a Hoosier?

pretty much. its obvious everyone in the world thinks there is something magical about dirt track racing in indiana. and for good reason. again all i was saying there are alot of ppl who race here every week with or without usac, agianst the best of the best. if you have any question on what im say go to you tube and watch interviews of Dg, jon, anyone and they r gonna tell u that if you can beat the locals in indiana then u r doin something.... are you gonna tell me DG does that weekly...no. matter of a fact i dont beleive he has won a race in indiana in a good while. and hear it sounds like im talkin bad about DG and im not. i appreciate everytime i get to so him race along with others. but there again this is the mecca and no hes not from here nor does he live here and only races here when usac rolls through. just sayin ask any of the big name drivers what ninty percent of indiana locals could do in their equitment. that says it all.

I hereby propose the first amendment to the constitution of the United States of USAC (Not affiliated with USAC). As it being necessary to establish uniform criteria for the Hoosier adoption of foreign(non-native Hoosier) drivers, this first amendment shall set forth the requirements for drivers to be titled "Hoosiers" and thus represent the racers of the State of Indiana. It shall not be a requirement that said driver be born in the State of Indiana (This shall henceforth be known as the Jeff Gordon clause). Any driver, human or non, from any geographical location of the universe, who meets the following requirements, automatically becomes, without further ado or processing fees, a genuine "Hoosier", certifiable by the United States of USAC (Not affiliated with USAC).

It is now proposed: 1) Driver participate in a non-USAC sprint car show at each of the following tracks: Gas City, Putnamville, Bloomington, Terre Haute, Paragon, Kokomo, IRP, Lawrenceburg, Eldora(OH).
2) Driver participate in a UMP modified event at Montpelier and Brownstown
3) Driver need not give consent to be called a Hoosier
4) Driver need not run a USAC race

Who is so inclined to edit or second this proposed amendment?

pretty sure DG DOES live in Indiana, just sayin.... Watch Follow the Corn, Sean does a great interview with DG. ohh and i remember a certain Californian who held the track record at Terre Haute for a good while, who would that be? ohh wait Damion Gardner
