First of all, I'm offended by your comment because you've drawn the assumption and conclusion on a public message board that I'm not supporting the Montpelier effort. I have been in steady contact with the people at Montpelier along the way as their effort has progressed. I fully support what they are doing... totally. I publicly stated some time ago that I will not be able to make all the races they have scheduled. I have other obligations and interests besides racing midgets. We cannot make the Memorial Day race for example. We fully intended to be there for the first race... but we discovered a few days before that not one, but two of my race cars had some hidden and unexpected engine issues and we could not get the parts in time to run the first race. The issues were a total surprise to us and we were very disappointed that we couldn't race. I hope this clears the air. We will be there Saturday for sure.

Hey if you want to be offended thats your problem, I dont care. I just figured that this group fit what you would like to run with and wondered why you werent there. If you had engine problems thats a shame, $*&% happens. Glad to see you will be there this week.

With every open wheel driver in the midwest driving a sprint car, it was time to go looking for somebody out there that has been successful, but hasn't been given an opportunity without bringing $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to the table. So.. I went hunting. I've hired a driver that has won more races than just about anybody driving open wheel cars today. He's from Kokomo, Indiana and has never driven a full midget. There are several videos of him driving on YouTube. He's been very, very successful driving race cars... one of the best, if not THE BEST regarding the cars that he drives. Who is it????
