The Sammy wreck was at Hales Corners, WI, a s***hole of a track. Gerry Olson gave Sammy a bunch of money to be there. Big Steve made a comment that the "last time that Sammy raced without a wing was at Ascot and he crashed in turn one during quals, hope he makes it to turn two this time." Sammy crashed in turn two, we all looked over at Steve and he was laughing his a** off. ![]() Damn froze to death at Granite City in 1989.

My bad, I see the Attica race in the Buzz Rose book. The biggest disappointment was Path Valley, PA. Hot laps were great and the feature was all huggypole.

![]() Brent Kaeding,who won that race at Hales Corner was being interviewed after the race when asked " have you ever seen a track like Hales Corner?" Brent repiled," No, I haven't and I hope to never see one like it again!" (LOL) ![]() ![]() Yes it was cold that year at Granite City,we were running 2 cars Mike Sweeney in #91 and Rickey Hood in #191, Mike won and Rickey ran 3rd,but after the races it was so cold that 3 of us loaded 2 cars and all of our support equipement in about 10 min. as we were running around to stay warm and get into that warm truck cab as quick as poossible since it was slightly snowing at that point! ![]() ---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ---------- Quote:

It seems there's two ways racing people see me as I've moved back to Indianapolis: 1) I'm an 'outsider' with no bag of money who will never do anything for racing, I'm a joke or 2) They see what happens when you take a girl out of the dirt track, but you can't take the dirt track out of the girl.
I want to sincerely thank the guys who are willing to take a stroll down memory lane with me on this board and answer my questions so I can at least be a part of passing the history on to the next generation. I might never get the bomber I always dreamed about or even a powder puff ride, but at least I can explain to my kids why I always thought that would be so cool.

I know what ya mean Deanalynn, However racing and racing people in general are great. There are some elitist out there but most are very very friendly.
Times like this thread make you say, I was there, I seen that! I participated in that! Like the Mopar Million, Probably only ten thousand of us were there but you'd think the world was. Talking with Dickie in a empty grandstand after the show, The glow on his face was priceless. Staab's first and only USAC win, I did nothing but try to balance some used marbled up tires for him. Drove up to IRP after work. Watched the whole race from outside the track, Walked under the tunnel and am in the Victory Lane Photo. Not because I wanted to be. Because he said. Come on, Were going to victory lane! FLAT RR and all ![]()
