+O.K., most of the recent retro results threads have likely been of most interest to the "old geezers" such as DannyBurton, SprintManDave, Pat O'Connor Fan, et al. Here's one not quite 20 years old for the "younger geezers", i.e. MudPacker, Dirtfan, and, of course, myself.

+I had apparently become rather lazy by '93 as I didn't list the number of laps (I assume 8) or time of race. I did jot a comment in my notes that "collectively, these were three of the best heat races I've seen in some time".

+This was a good night at the races for my boy, Greg Staab, which is one of the reasons I chose to bring back this one back, what with his recent most deserving induction into the HARF Hall of Fame.
+I was in attendance at IRP when Greg won a USAC sprint feature.....quite emotional in the circle. I failed to keep records though. Believe it was also shown live on ESPN, Thurs. Nite Thunder maybe?
+Hard Charger Award to Bill Rose. 17th to 5th......not too shabby.
+There was a Jim Kropfield who drove unlimited hydroplanes. I know he won the Governor's Cup driving Miss Budweiser at Madison one season. Also broke his neck once, I believe. Don't know if he was related to Scott Kropfield, the sprint car guy or not. cecil98? smith19? anyone?
Thassit!!!
