Great point VaDirt.

Ah....the "man" has won # 5 .....Sammy can run with them anyday and anytime.

Great job Sammy and we SAMMY fans are very proud.

GO SAMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems to be a very popular event for the USACers - they have been making the tow for years. Hard for me to believe the "wool has been pulled over their eyes".

Run Watcha Brung! If you want to run an outdated USAC midget/sled that weighs more than a pushtruck, they will not turn you away at the door.

it's a full bladder...nothing trick but the shape....haters.

"For all the Sammy haters and USUCK lovers"

Maybe in somewhat of a different direction, but does anyone here happen to know what kind of a relationship Steve Kinser and Sammy have today? Do they acknowledge each other at the track (last year's Gold Cup), do they ignore one another or do they talk and get along? Just curious and BTW congratulations to Sammy a real legend. :checkered:

Well, I just want to say congradulations to Sammy. I think he is what keeps the
alure of sprint car racing booming.

1) First thing I thought about when watching the after qualifier winners interview
was how old Sammy looked. He is not a spring chicken anymore. He is old!

a) But the next thing I noticed when watching the Qualifier on Youtube
was how good and exacting a driver he was. He drove outstandlingly!
As good as any driver I have seen. I Probably haven't seen many...lol!

2) Next, is the innovative and imaginative and creative genius at work. I don't
have much respect for drivers. They are a dime a dozen, but when you can
bring a new car to the track and beat the best at building a racecar for
a particular race....to me that is what it is all about. It can be Indy, Nascar
or a sprint car race. The car is what turns me on! He brought a different one
and I love that because that's how I view racing through the car you bring
and how you fix them up in the shop. I wouldn't even have to go to a race, but
building one that is a little different or better than the next guy is a dream
come true.

a) Can't wait to watch this on ESPN.

Sincerely,

Larry Otani...

P.S. They want to cut my mom's legs off. She's old. I hope they don't.
And God bless you all!:applaud:

Their relationship is a cordial one. Your not going to be buddy-buddy after trying to beat each other for 30 years. They have played golf together recently and respect each other more than they'll ever admit. Wolfie was at the Chili Bowl and I'm sure he was rootin' for Sammy.

Geez , Larry - Sammy is a year younger than you .... and five years younger than me ... and I still look better than both of you !! :rolling

Best wishes to you :moon: and I'll keep your Mom in my thoughts and prayers ! :thumb
