Your car finished 7th and 6th this weekend. Did you come out ahead or behind after expenses?

Being a competitor in Mel Kenyon's last race is a priceless experience.

Are you kidding me? I was in the hole for at least $2000 before I even left my driveway for Fort Wayne...........

Once I got there, I made sure the Purple Tire company stayed in business with a tire bill of over $1000........

Don,

How many tires did you buy and have you found new tires to make an difference indoors?

Thanks,

Then after all of the griping about the Chili Bowl and USAC, why did you go if you were gonna lose money from the start. Also if you are willing to lose money to race why not run the Chili Bowl or many other races that you arent running?

I really don't know why a racer who gets his car out of the garage to entertain themselves and others can't be apreciated. No matter what the differences are.

Matt, we used 2 RR tires and 1 RF and 1 LR for the 2 days. It goes back to do you want to just race or do you want to win. We didnt win but we damn sure tried.

I didnt say I didnt appreciate his effort, just wondering why after all the complaining about how they should be paid to put on a show rather than pay to put on the show did he ever get the midget out knowing he was going to lose money. It kind of goes against all he has stood for on this board. Could it be he likes Tony Barhorst and the Poweri guys and not USAC and Emmett. Hey its up to him where he wants to spend his money. Just seems odd.
