Could you ever have imagined a past USAC president ever coming onto this or any message board and starting a thread like this?:respect:

It seems that USAC did send out a very qualified representative to inspect this track prior to race date, the problem was this representative had already been told he would no longer have a job with USAC in the very near future so with that in mind it would seem quite possible that this USAC rep may and I use the word may strongly due to the passion this person has for the sport but he may have just pulled a big up yours to USAC and cleared the track as safe knowing full well it was not?

I dont think Bloomington should suffer because of another tracks safety concerns. Come on out to Bloomington tonight and enjoy a great show.

The track announcer was Pat Sullivan. Let me make this clear, it was not Pat Sullivan who made that statement about the drivers. It was Tony Barhorst.

Gee, during ISW at L'Burg couldn't USAC have sent a guy up to Union Co. in one of the four "safety vehicles" just to check out the track? Very easy little day trip. Or how about having one of the four "safety vehicles" sidetrack, in the interest of safety, to Union Co. on the way to Gas City that Friday of ISW? No, they would rather use those vehicles to clutter up a race track after even the tiniest of turnovers. And USAC has been around how long? Seeya at Bloomington.
