To me, DG is more of a free agent if you will. But that YMMV. Quite true, but bear in mind Gurney was one of the "big 5" who founded CART. Penske, Hall, Patrick and Haas were the others.

There I'm glad somebody remembers me... Where do you usually sit? We usually sit down in turn one. Second set of stairs from the end, usually 9-14 rows up... Maybe we'll get to meet sometime... I plan on going tonight. I just started a new job at Vermeers in Pella this week... It's been a LONG week, (52 1/2 Hours in my FIRST week) it's time for some Sprint Cars. I'm looking forward to seeing if Danny Lasoski can stay perfect on the eason. Skip Jackson handed it to him last week, or he might not be 2-0. Skip had a healthy lead and spun trying to negotiate lapped traffic. From there on Lasoski checked out. I was mildly surprised to see Aaron Berryhill there for a regular race. I guess he's still not fully recovered from his burns at Knoxville last year. e said IF and WHEN he is fully recovered he hopes to return full time to the oO tour... the Inmates are out... of The Asylum...

Just a quick question on the boost limits at Indy. Didn't USAC limit the boost on the stock block engines to 48" last year, or was that something just for the Mercedes engine? ...
