We used to get stuff like that at all national events. I used to use Penzoil, the rep (very nice gentleman) used to bring a case of oil by at every race. 24qt cases of oil. Free ACCEL spark plugs, and Fram filters. First day was making the rounds, loading up. Never asked, given to us.

Ed . Remember the 3 "Participant" tee shirts that Eldebrock gave out for everyone of the racers ... I was just a kid hanging around with Terry Lynn ( he ran D-Gas Class), but those T's were cool

Thanks Fred for sharing the very candid interview with Mr Rampy.
Would not have seen it without this thread. Would like to make a comment
on the fact that is nice to feel appreciated. Much to be said
about that. While our home track is not perfect this past friday
we had our annual awards banquet in downtown Denver.
Very nice venue in downtown Denver and the Bandimere family
always works very hard to create a memorable night with lots of
pictures, video , and audio. Food was good and it was a very nice
evening. Kudos to the Magna fuels super gas racers who shared the "superman" award for their outstaning sportsmanship.
The Bandimere family and staff always thank the racers and family for their support. It seems like nearly every year the track and or facility gets
some kind of upgrade and is well maintained.


Thanks again to all the Bandimere and Crispe family's as well
as the staff. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas.

Yes sir. I had forgotten about those. Always ended up with 2 or 3 hats as well.
