I think he was, Gregg. This was when Greg Staab was da man at da 'burg.

Rich, do you recall Bob Kinser driving the F-800?

You mean when Dave Darland DID NOT make the race but they let him start anyway and he stole the KISS championship from Stanbrough?:redflag:

I guess I don't know what a cowboy track is. I am a old guy I first went to the track back in the 50's if you mean ruts and bumps and stuff like that, it is not a cowboy track your right! But I do know that almost every sprint car driver who made their living from racing in the last 50+ years has raced a Paragon at sometime. And I will bet most of all the drivers in the Sprint car hall of fame have driven at Paragon. So if you are a driver and when you push off at the next race look up at the stars and say thank you! I got a chance to race at a track that the legends of racing have raced at. I hope Bro is a good word.

Is this what you meant

Yes, I was very young though...... How about a car that had a engine from a airplane in it and it went so fast down the straight in would not turn and drove right off the track. I think they said it was a Allision 12 cylinder aircraft engine or something like that. My Dad and I had great times talking about that. Somebody on this board said the name Bill Dugger (sp) not long ago. Him and Cecil Beavers were the first big time drivers I can remember they were like Kinser and Swindell of resent times.

First off, KISS doesn't have provisionals. Secondly, Jon won the KISS championsip this year. Mat Neely finished second.

He was a very good sprint car driver. I bet he won some races! I don't how many. But I think somebody on here knows

He won the very first sanctioned All Star Circuit of Champions feature, @ LPS in 1980. I remember him making his living about a foot off of the infield tires.

You have KISS and Indiana Sprint Week confused. Dave Darland earned a provisional and used it during Indiana Sprint Week, not the KISS race.
