Robert got together with Hunter in the feature. I believe Hunter got pretty tight and that's what caused him to take a ride. Ballou was not at fault with the accident. Seeing Ballou win a feature at Terre Haute
with his own car and a open trailer brought back memories from the "Good Old Days" April 22. Best Regards, John |

Two of the most shameful statements someone who considers themselves a race car driver can make:
"It's just one of them racin deals" Originally spoken by millionaire race car drivers, driving for millionaire owners with multi million dollar sponsors. They trash a car on Sunday (there's or anyone else's) and there's a new waiting back at the shop. They never had to pay for a new right rear tire or sit out a week because they didn't have the money to fix what broke. A "racin deal: is when a car breaks in front of you and you hit it. A racin deal is when a part on your car breaks and you crash. A "racin' deal" IS NOT when you have control of an operating car and you hit someone else who is control of an operating car, causing that person to crash. The other statement: "He could have lifted" Both statements most often said by someone who does not have the class to man-up and say "I messed up and I'm sorry" I also agree with Phil. Mike Jonas |

First of all I want to THANK all the USAC guys that towed to Wisconsin. Normally we have to go to INDY to see you. Your efforts were greatly appreciated.
About the crash the way we saw it was the classic slide job gone bad. Yes Hunter was on top and Robert plain didn't get the slider done. I don't know if this is first run in with the officials but doing something to stop abusive driving is ok. I worked on many a wrecked race car for over 20 years. Sometimes it's your drivers fault and other times someone wrecks you. In the old days someone would have ended up with a black eye. I agree "it was a racing deal" is a poor excuse for a mistake. Man up and take your lumps. Again thanks for coming to Wisconsin I hope your back Paul Kuyawa High Groove Media Service |
