Now, that's an unsettling thought, right there. If that were true, not only would I never come to The Burg's Section A again, but more than likely would give up racing all together.

I saw Gregg at Florence on Saturday night and I asked him where Marvelous Marv was? He told me that he was home working on the stove! Yeah, right.

I got booted all the way to section I last week (Pit end) Thats ok, the national guard was there again, Keeping watch over the rowdy section A.

If I was reading BeTwEeN the lines I would guess that the (BIG SPRINT CAR NEWS ) is champ cars at the Burg....????? They are BIG SPRINT CARS......

That would be the best news all year if we could get the BIG CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Breakfast over? If I don't get this monday anouncement sometime today, GRRR

Straight from the horse's......err, make that the boss' mouth, and I didn't even have to buy breakfast.......yet.

The Dick Gaines Memorial (8/22/09) will now be a 10K to win, USAC sanctioned event.

I believe that makes three 10K to win events for the traditional sprinters at The 'Burg in '09.

Also fills what had been a void from the end of ISW to the 4-Crown which previously had no USAC sprints on dirt here in the tri-state area.

Dave got my attention by coming in to Bob Evans this a.m. wanting to know where he could park the bus he had filled with folks looking for a free breakfast. After I was revived, it turns out that he was just joshin' and that he had to rush off to a meeting further west.

I owe ya Dave.

Again, that's really good news, but it's gonna be a pretty tough haul from Springfield's Silver Crown race over to Lawrenceburg for the race....and Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City ALREADY has a $10,000 to win sprint car race that night which annually draws most of the good sprint car guys. These decisions are getting tougher to make....especially when there are a bunch of weekends this year with no special races at all!! haha

Hope your breakfast was tasty, Marv!

That's huge news, Marv! Dick Gaines deserves to have a bigger event for his memorial race and Dave deserves our support for stepping up and making this thing happen.

Marv, i know we have had this conversation before about the gaines race paying a lot more. So you know i'm giving it the thumbs up. He was the number #1 man in the land and he deserves it. Thanks dave ....
