Curt,
I was in Greeley once, this was before I was married. Anyhow, I picked up a few locals and I swear they smelled like Monfort! They told me that’s how you tell a local from the “outta towners!” :devil
My Dad’s favourite driver growing up was Bill Vukovich. I grew up hearing bedtime stories of him (and Duke Nalon in the Novi) My fave was Gary Bettenhausen, he broke my young heart in 1972 when he DNF’d from first less than 25 laps from the finish line. Many many stories I could tell you being there and meeting my Dad’s friends. Tom Sneva is one hilarious guy!
For all you race fans: At least once in your life you have to make it to the 500. There is nothing like it.
BTW… Less than two weeks before Grand Junction. I thought we’d never get to this point of racing!
