Chris,

Thanks for starting this thread. Real interesting seeing all of the greats mentioned. An extremely difficult task when you are limited to only 20 drivers. A tough job with double that many.

Im glad you all are taking part of it. I wish I had even a TENTH of the knowledge as most of you on this thread. I am only 29, so I dont really have much experience with the past.

This is why Deanna shouldn't even be allowed to post.

You know, believe it or not, this site has this crazy little function known as an ignore list. Just click on it and magically all her posts will disappear for you. I guess if you did that though, you wouldn't have anything to whine about.

Well, I'm not sure about the other 19 except for Jan and Hewitt, but I sure would like to start on the pole.

J Hewitt, Dick Gaines
Bob Kinser, Rich Vogler
Butch Wilkerson, Rick Hood

I'm glad I did make a mistake because I learned something new. I didn't follow racing when I was in the army or when my ex was in the army, so a lot of what I'm learning about post '96 open wheel racing in Indiana is from this board. If I hadn't posted, I would have continued to be confused about the gender of a Lawrenceburg favorite. I've never seen him or met him, so how would I have known? Joss is a popular name these days for males and females. Should I have just assumed it was a male because he is a sprint car driver?
