I don't doubt for one minute that Ray and his grandson are very good people. I've never met them so I can't comment on their character. He, however, by my definition of the word is not a racer. You said it yourself and I quote,"he raced ASA,owned and drove (how long, how well, he owned a car), bought a speedway in Indiana (again, he owned it), he is into racing and collecting Muscel (sic) Cars (again, he's into racing and collecting)".
I say again, I've never met the man and I don't mean any malice in this post but when it's all said and done, to quote you one more time "If they are having a good time and having fun they will be in it for the long haul".
I've been here for 40 years buying, building and driving. I don't expect them to be doing this in 5 and I hope I'm wrong.
