Hope to see alot of IOW folks during the week.
I have been at the LIL 500 since 1967, I would hate to think I would ever give that race up for DIRT& I WAS A RACER. Run it 11 times it is one of the most DEMANDING RACES TO RUN PHYSICALLY I know,I also think Denny Adams is great that always mekes the SHOW, HOPE to meet IOW crowd also Butch Wilkerson#1:applaud::applaud::checkered::checkered ::checkered:

Butch,

Unfortunately I moved to Indiana in 1973 so I missed seeing you run alot. I have heard many stories about you and the rest of the sprint car gang from back in the day. I hope to be able to say hi in person some day. Maybe at this years Little 5.

Mike

Be nice to people on the way up. You might need them on the way down. Jimmy Durante

Don Mack and Curt Kelley won the 1978 Little 500. Don was there if I recall in the mid to late 60's.
