It was May of 1990 when Kinser won CRA bonus at Eldora. A lot of WoO guys there that night, including Haud, Dave Blaney, Terry Shepard, plus CRA standouts like McSpadden, Bubby & Shuman. Tony Elliott was in the 17 car if I remember correctly. Anyway, a super stout field.

I had seen several non wing races before that night, but it was this race that cemented my love of tradional sprintcars and my disdain for winged super sprints.

The track that night was awesome, back when Eldora was still great. Thank GOD I was luck enough to witness Eldora back then.

On another note, how many of you remember when Richard Griffin won the CRA race at Eldora in Pepper Fites Ford running the wall? Actually he was slamming the wall the whole way around, lap after lap. I kept waiting for him to bite it, but he never did. They had a brief rain shower move through that night and they worked hard to get the track ready. Biggest cushion I ever saw at Eldora. I think that was 1991. Really great memories.

WOW! Why would anyone bring this up after all of these years? Must be some real resentment built up over the years to still have issues with this. CRA and Frank Lewis haven't been on the racing map for quite some time. I say get over it and move on. Life is way too short.

Steve was running 3rd behind Bubby and Lealand. Bub got tired around lap 15 or 16 and the Tempe Tornado was hit by a rock about the same time. Bubby faded to 3rd and McSpadden was dazed after getting hit by the rock and finished 2nd. Steve won fair and square but Jones drove a heck of a race that night. Do remember Jerry Meyer tearing the fence on the front straight?

Yep, I remember at the time reading somewhere that Bubby said his head fell over with 10 laps or so to go at Eldora and Kinser got around him.

I am pretty sure Joe Roush got the Indiana Attorney General involved,and that was how he finally got paid!

Frankie Kerr beat them twice on them tours.If I remember right in 89 they only went as far east as Eldora.Then 91 and 92 came into Pa.

I want to hug your smiley face. He's gotta have bruising by now.

Randy Kinser won at Lawrenceburg

Still.. what's the point of this line of discussion? Just to rekindle all the facts.. or is there a deeper purpose?

Good Memory there Vukie,on a side note,what really hindered Lealand was that whatever it was that hit the car had caved in the arm guard and had his right arm pinned between it and the seat. After the race he told me that he pretty much drove the rest of the race with one arm!
Man that guy was a Badass!
