Give him the Bill O'Reilly "No Spin Zone" interview. Take no prisoners. Be rude like Bill; interrupt time and again if he tries to dance around answering tough questions about Greg.

I must admit that his willingness to "face his accusers" is a good trait.

Oh, Hell with it. I'll probably just go to more airshows :rolleyes: than races "until the dust settles".

I doubt D.O. invited the guy on the show to be ambushed. Some direct questions on the subject of Greg would be nice, but I'm not going to be disappointed if he doesn't go "60 Minutes" on the guy.

Greg is not leaving on his own. FACT! I could tell you more but Greg doesn't want to go negative on here. Like the class act he is, he wants to take the high road. What happened is BULLSH!!!!!

WTH? Kevin might be a financial genious but without people like Staab. Your not gonna make a dime.

Kevin, please research the last 30 friggin years, As far as car counts, fan base, track and interest, Staabs responsible for getting at least half of that, The competitors are the other half.

Chuck, not to figgin happy and was loving the additonal races, competitors and track interest Greg's been instrumental in helping generate. And if 40+ years of USAC support as a racer and car owner in three different classes, A promotor and a competition director isn't passion beyond compare. Someone doesn't know the definition of PASSION!

Exactly, I've never seen the man conduct himself in anything but a profesional manner. He gets angry or upset like the rest of us and has a trait I only wish I could have in turning it into ambition and results.

Chuck, I'll listen to the show, Im doubtful I go to many of the 14 USAC shows I had penciled in and one was rained out 48hrs in advance of a PERFECT racing day.

Keywords Supply and Demand and EVENTS?

OK, IMHO it's not about a trophy, Fireworks ect. It's about the BEST SHOW POSSIBLE.

Which IMHO means a better show than the weekly show at several tracks.

What happened to 40-50 lap features with bigger purses? MSCS is doing it, Your not.

I and others go to USAC shows every bit as much to see the LOCAL BEAT THE TOP TEAMS as I DO TO SEE LEVI or BRADY ect. Yet your format and cost of doing so, many teams say, WHY BOTHER?????

Cut the cost of racing with a smaller tire, increase the comptitiiveness of it by doing so and quit locking out teams by a 50 year old format.

You have to make it a format and event that racers want to race and fans want to choose it over the local show.

While I don't think hurting the guy that has the contacts and works hard to accomidate the tracks, racers and fans is a good choice.

I do apreciate you apearing and giving insight on what the goal is.

Best of luck.
