Thanks for bringing that up...

Dosent that amount of money won in 1971 dollars make it seem like slamming your D##K in a car door would hurt less than the amount of money guys are racing for today vs the investment they put into these "Stockers" today...lol. The accual amount Dave Boertman won was closer to $11,000 dollars at Indy in 1971. I was rounding it off for a comparison.
