MAXIM, Others have stints where they're the top but about twenty years at the top and still always a contender.

What motors would you buy?
Billy Boat motors or Gaerte Mopars, Foxco or Claxton aren't bad either

Who would drive the cars?
Dickie Gaines!!

Just curious of what some might say!

If Dickie had a ride, Id give Broc Burton a shot at top equiptment and say LET ER EAT!

Since I know squat about equipment.

I would get Darland, Ballou, Levi Jones, or Jerry Coons Jr. to drive and let them choose.

But I won lots of money, it wouldn't be spent in a race team, it would be spent on a track. I would try to partner up with King and all at THAT and provide entertainment between races and a improve the track wherever I can. And then I would buy Putnamville from allison and let Spiker run it the way he wants without having to worry about breaking a lease agreement.

Just got back from buying my tickets for $133 million drawing tonight, how would I spend it. First of all we live in the U. S. so the goverment will take more than half of it for taxes.

First and foremost being a pavement girl I would have to think about buying an Indy car, an since I would be torn trying to decide which Dave to put in it I would probably have to buy two; one for Davey Hamilton if he wants to go back to running a full Indy season and the second one for Dave Darland. Plus a couple spare cars!

My other option would be to take over USAC, remove everyone there that wants to do away with pavement racing, work hard to show the race teams how much they are appreciated, book more pavement shows running all three divisions at the same show. An without the blink of an eye rehire Greg Staab at USAC.

I say dream big if you are going to dream; there have already been two big lottery winners here in Central N. Y. since mid-May maybe I can be the third.

I would field a 3 car team

I would drive one car and I would do everything in my power to give anyone who wanted to drive a chance to see what it's like. Almost like a school that doesn't charge
