The fans might just want to see the future!

Back when this race occured we thought that the wing guys had a better line at Eldora. They didnt back it in they tried to keep it straighter thus scrubbing off less speed. If you noticed more than a few wing guys have done well there against USAC. Duncan and Brecht are good examples. I always wondered why the USAC guys never tried this but maybe we were just full of it. it seems logical though.

D@mn Gene got your panties in a bunch, and your wrong there were 2 John Memmer was the other, Chase Stockon and Briscoe will through the wing on when they come here and Wes Mac is running with them at Kokomo next week, I pretty sure it's easier to take the wing off then to put one on & the wings hardly ever run here 1 time in 2011 and only 3 times this year and thats WOO & All Stars combine. The Posse makes such a big deal when the Outlaws come to town about protecting your turf and winning why not do it when little ol USAC comes to town with some non-wingers

And its a good thing for Montieth he ran over the 18 going into three, because if not, he would have ended up in the pond outside 3 and 4. Instead, he busted his a**, "inside" the track.

And Rahmer helped pack Grandview too. But after hot laps, with the track fast and 16 year old kids blowing by him, they loaded....."Rahmer"....."AND"....."the car"...... in the trailer and headed for the shop. I heard Rahmer's a** didn't unpucker from the seat until about 10 mile down the road....

Charlie, sure the top wing driver's can compete on the big fast tracks where straighter is faster. Let's see Haud or Little Smitty throw it in at Kokomo, Bloomington or Haubstadt. I bet it would be a different story !!!!

And Brandon, back in the day, USAC "DID" get beat when they came into Central PA...."WITHOUT" the wing !!!!!!

plus....stevie admitted to a major stagger change....so the "just took the wings off" theory isnt entirely true....and do you really think with his dad as a crew chief thats all they "really" did? i dont.
IMO.....its all about buying a bunch of stuff....tires included....that they MAY only get to use 4 times a season.....doesnt make financial sense for a lot of these guys to "change over"

A lil flashback to Big Diamond USAC 2010, what a race it was...

http://gspvideo.com/2010/06/big-diam...2010/#more-938

3 out of the 4 USAC races that have been run at BDS have come down to the last lap or two to decide the winner....It's the place to see USAC when they come East for sure....Plus now the inside barriers are removed from the track which has helped widen the racing grooves, a new surface is down since they were there the last time, and this year it's been in tip top shape....I can't wait till next friday night, plus for the big party/campout afterwards too, lol....just hoping and praying the ma nature cooperates.

Question for the Indiana fans....That last USAC race at Big Diamond, racer Ricky Williams did an AWESOME JOB out front and was running a lane in turn 2 that usually isn't used, lol, he was well on his way to the win...A late caution changed that....But my question is, is Ricky Williams racing anywhere these days....I don't remember seeing his name last year at all, and so far this year I haven't seen it....Does Ricky still race, hope so, seemed like the fella was on his way up the ladder and then poof, he was gone, thanks for any help, much appreciated.

Well, Haud didn't have much trouble throw'n it in the corners at Chico last year during the USAC portion of the Gold Cup,he set quick time and ran 2nd in the feature on a very tacky race track.
