What event like the Smackdown did you have while you were there? $10,000 to win $1000 to start? Did you guys have anything like that? How about the Silver Crown, weren't you part of the next generation car that failed. I will make you a deal, if you will sign a release to USAC to release your pay records, I will push them to release Mr Miller's and we will see how things stack up.
I always thought you were a bright spot during the stagnant years of USAC, but your bitterness has changed my opinion. At times you offer insight that no one else can. I agree with you about it being a cult following, but you have to grind the axe to the point of where it is hard to take you serious.
I have been going to a lot of USAC races since 1982. Not that my opinion matters, but I think things are on the upswing. Remember how many cars you took to Williams Grove? 2 Steve Butler and Rick Ungar. So by comparison things aren't so bad. Just like things weren't bad back in the day.
Oh Brent, you are always replying to me the same way...I made $400 for a Silver Crown race, and $175 for all sprint and midgets. There would be few multi day show that paid more an some that payed less. The wife and boy made $125. We paid all for gas, motels, food, tolls, oil changes, ect....I could give .02 what you think you know, state facts not something you heard or rumored. Check with any of your friends at USAC there should be records.
I went to Colby Kansas once with 7 cars for the lowest car count at any event, I attended Hut 100 with mid 70 car count, did several midget races with as many as 66 pavement cars. I really can not take credit for high car counts as well as low car counts were not of my doing. My job was to enforce the rules all of which were made by myself and owners and drivers sitting down and agreeing on! And ,yes I do have an ax to grind, when I was let go because I refused to allow a cut back in medical expenses by a man that made what Kevin made. I do not need you to inform me what Kevin makes as it is a matter of public record, just like DUI's are. Like you said I bring a lot of factual information, why not do the same.
The 2nd generation car was none of my doing just as Ken Shrader, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart,Ryan Neuwman, Carl Edwards, Jason Lefler, ect...advancing under my time there is not because of me.
Previous president $110,000 is real close.
Mopar Million $250,000 to win! Silver Crown all paid $10,000 - $20,000 to win, not the standard $8000 of today. Again, none of those purses reflect on me, had nothing to do with them, more facts, seemed I have answered all your questions, does anyone think I am winning. This is all about being the most macho internet troll ?
