Thanks to Jerry and Bill for the nice thoughts. I'm sure that Dirty Sanchez was at the top of the list. A short and very brief posting career.

It was good seeing Spridge and his dad at Danville that night. Andrew, Jack, Mike and Leroy too. I made the trip down that evening with my spirtual advisor, Merrillville Al.

That is old school brave.

Maybe next time I'll ride with this guy.

Speaking of Merrillville Al, that's another good thing about Danville. There's almost always a pretty interesting cast of characters assembled there. And with several support classes, there's usually plenty of time to get to visit with them.

Is that you, Russ?

I'm not sure who runs USAC. Is it Hoosier or USAC?? When I wanted to run a co-sanction race with the regional midget series they would not run with us even though we allowed American Racer and Hoosier in our Wolverine Series. DK promotions said he would get the race canceled if just one of us ran even one AR tire. I called USAC and they were not sure but called back later to say , yes they could get our race canceled. Hoosier could have our race canceled even though we accept both tires. Who really runs the show? Hoosier, and they are helping to ruin midget and sprint car racing in my opinion. The enormous cost for tires in comparison to start money will continue to kill our sport. Decisions are made on tire brand over what is best for midget racing overall. Remember, Hoosier does what is best for Hoosier not what is best for any series. They want to keep that 100% monopoly even if the numbers go down. I don't have an answer but if tire cost is not gotten under control, racing for the average guy is doomed

Hi, Steve.

Ahhhh... VUKIE IS BACK!! Good to see you posting again...

D) Then the well funded teams will have SEVERAL USAC spec cars, and the rest will complain, which is what we have now, IMO
E) Yes, but at the expense of damaging the USAC Dirt Sprint Series(reduced car counts), which is WORSE than what we have now. IMO

See 'ya at Richmond! Be careful in the heat.
