We have truly been blessed. And, it's not just the fact that we're getting to do this as a family but, the great people we've come to know along the way. It has made for a great life.

This next article is about an ITB driver who progressed up the ladder.
Eric's father continues to race in the N.E. (I race with him regularly).
One thing that makes his story a bit unique compared to most is that he didn't do it using a lot of his own money and was done by putting himself in the right places, luck, and a lot of talent.
During our discussion he talked about his Realtime experience and while he laughed about it, one could tell that was a rude wake up call to the realities of this sport.

Jake Gulick and I were fortunate enough to be able to sit down with the owner of Highcroft Racing, Duncan Dayton. I have to say it was really cool and insightful on what it's like as an AMLS team. Great guy and a true racer a heart. It's worth the read but of course I maybe slightly biased. lol
Here's the linky to the article.

Simply EXCELLENT!!
My eye opener was the year Al Sr won Indy in 87. He was let go by Penske at the end of 1986 due to money and his ride went to Danny Ongais using Ted Fields money. He walked the garages looking for a ride. "King Hiro" had three chassis/engine combos to try using Panasonic Money. A rookie with no wins. Danny O crashed and got a concussion so Penske put Al back in and he won. Had he not crashed, Al would have been without a ride, a three time winner at that point!!!!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
