Captain Jack and the Sage of Sedalia - Congratulations

I’m a little tardy, but congratulations to Captain Jack on his U/SA class win at Indy.

The Captain came prepared to race, and his preparation deserved more than a single for the trophy. Deb and Terry Lacy both had problems at the Topeka Divisional that neither could correct in time for Indy. Jack’s 1.077 under placed him Q48, but he just wanted somebody to race. To Captain Jack’s credit, the first words out of his mouth were “where is Deb’s car”. Although it wasn’t going to approach the mania of the U/SA shoot-out of Belle Rose a few years back, I know Jack, Deb and Terry were all very much looking forward to a wagon, cruck (we can’t decide if it is a car/truck or a truck/car – we usually call it a racetar) and turbo-car shoot-out.

Congratulations to a deserving champion!

P.S. Never-ending thanks to Bob Shaw, the Sage of Sedalia, (a/k/a the Cadillac Kid), and congratulations on Q3.

Kyle, Deb, and Danika Fickler
