It was also nice to see our new friends, the Skillmans, and Doug Duell and John McLeod.
It is also like Charlie Westcott said--racing!! Not for fame or fortune, but the competition and knowing that at that particular time, you went just as fast as you could. With that being said--we ran just as fast as we possible could last week--and in a heads up run against a Mustang or Challenger, we did not have a prayer. Neither did Boudreau, Zimmerman, Costello, Stubbs, Cummings, Emmons, Wilkes, Kincaid, Periard, Totaro, Hudlow, Taylor, Mattingly, or Corda.
And as much as we love coming to Indy, if something is not done by next year to put the new cars in their own class, we may not be back. We want say positively that we won't be back because we are getting older and this is what we love doing. You miss this Indy and there may not be another one. But you go to qualify and then know that you have a chance to win the biggest race of the year. We would like to just have a fighting chance.
