I'm old enough to remember when Eddie Sachs drove for Gus Hoffman.

As I recall this is the race that Ricky Stenhouse just about got banned from USAC because of his actions during the infamous 30 minute caution flag. :thumbsdown:

Correct me but wasn't he the one that wouldn't fall in line where he was beign told to go? And they finally red flagged the deal to get him in his spot? :headbang:

Pine i may not agree with his (Sammy) actions outside the racecar but you have to admit he is one of the best IN the car.

As far as the 2004 USAC show Ricky got robbed because he showed those USAC guys the kid was good and not afraid. He eventually was able to prove it with the help of TSR.:respect:

Well, there was a ton of confusion on the line-up of the restart. I watched as Sammy Swindell "lost" a couple of spots in the line up after the caution. I did not have my eye on Ricky when he crossed the line. So, I can't say if he was in the wrong or not.

I did see DD plow him on the restart. Using your logic, Ricky deserved what he got because he was not lined up properly at the drop of the :greenflag:? If that is the case, who is responsible for lining up the cars? I believe the USAC officials must first deem the line-up as "good" before the drop of the :greenflag:. Would you agree or am I "out of line" too?

Should I be looking over my shoulder for DD?

That is why they still allow fighting in the NHL :applaud:
