Thanks Mr. Fix. Hitting a hundred plus races for more than a decade was a blast, especially since I made a living while doing so, that's the part most of the peeps get pi$$ed about. What most people never knew about was the distribution group I had set-up in many parts of the country, especially with my NASCAR stuff, back in it's hay-day of Sr. Gordon, Rusty etc. The NASCAR crowd like to spend money and I along with help from a few other shooters had lots for them. Heck, the 1998 Daytona race that Sr. won I was standing in Victory Lane when he got there, my work there and some side by side of Sr. and Jr. that day was easily worth a couple years salary for most people. A couple of times I had shots of over 600 different Sprint cars in a single year, i was proud of that and my trips Down Under made that happen. The Aussie racefan is almost as passionate as the Posse fan and when I was there back in the mid 90's they were buying anything and everything I had or could print and the fun we had between races was unbelievable, no finer group of people have I ever met and that's from Sydney to Perth. Speaking tongue in cheek a bit over the years, sometimes a bit too much has cost me some grief in this forum but for the most part it has been a blast. The people of PA the area you are from were surprisingly among the best friends I had in the sport, many of them in secret as they didn't want others to know they actually liked Steve and Sammy etc. I miss those days, I'm a not too healthy old man now who has battled some issues over the last half dozen years but I wouldn't trade my life for anyone else's, I have been truly blessed with this journey and friendship.....

I know I've reacted a little too harshly to some of your tongue in cheek comments before. Admittedly, it took a little while to catch on to it but hey, I'm human. I've always enjoyed your stories and tales from your days traveling wherever sprint cars race and I hope you keep sharing them from time to time. I wish you the best with your health issues. Take it easy.....

https://www.speedshifttv.com/ - They usually do a pretty good job on the coverage.
First USAC race at The Grove since 1996. Couple 410 regulars, Dietrich and Kyle Moody, will have the wings off. USAC/ARDC Midgets on the undercard. Will be a good one. Heading out at the top of the hour.

Thank you very much Anthony CorinI for helping Nelligan out(We all know he needs it). That was a cool thing to do . I'm sorry Mike's reply was ungrateful and had a sarcastic vibe to it. Telling you to "run along little buddy " after you just kindly answered the question he asked. you see in Mike's 200 years on planet earth he still hasn't learned gratitude. Sad obviously but true. So with that being said I will most humbly and sencerly thank you for your help. For Mike's sake, hopefully he got it figured out. Take it easy

Slowest half mile......that's funny......Go stand at the bottom of 1 and 3 in the infield then make that comment

Yes Mike's correct. The Grove in comparison is one of(if not the most) slowest half mile's in the country. compared to a Port Royal, or Lawrenceburg or Knoxville. But here's the thing though Mike......who gives a S&@T!!! It's a paperclip , we all know this it's been this way for decades.( You should know, how many decades have you seen. Probably too many) . Just because a racetrack is " slow" or has slow Lap times does not mean the racing is bad. I've seen mane great races in slick rubbered up tracks . Fact of the matter Nelligan has nothing better to do than insult PA drivers /teams, tracks and fans and sadly that'a the only thing he's got lol . Take it easy

Mr. Corini is likely my closest friend in the sport Mr. Hammerhead. I encourage him with each and every conversation and we take digs at each other whenever we can. He's such a wealth of knowledge the sport needs him and everything he's done is leading in that direction, you on the other hand, yikes. But they were semi-civil posts so I am a bit worried about your condition, it might be improving and that's a scary thought, even good ol' hardrive is trying to help ya', lol. Like I've said often in this thread, I've likely had more fun in PA than anywhere ('cept maybe Knoxville). The night I remember the most was seeing a cover band of Skynyrd, they were exceptional and we had lots of fun that night with about a dozen of good Posse Peeps, not a cheerleader in the group....
