I've worked off and on several years for some USAC teams, mostly RFMS Racing, the Fike brothers. Aaron is running a full season in Busch this year, A.J. has run about 10 or 12 Busch races so far.
Also crew for some guys running a 410 non wing car out of Indy.
Been crewing on various midget teams too. Getting ready for the Chili Bowl, got my tickets in the mail a few days ago. Last year I helped Andy Bondio a little, he and Cory Krusemann almost got two in a row. They won in 2004, and finished 2nd to Tracy Hines by a few feet. Fookin' great racing.
You have a question? :idea:

I've been a fan for a long time and I recently went to Kory Kruseman's school and had a blast. I have a racing background in motocross and karts, so my next thing would be something with a cage and belts. I really dig sprint cars and would like to get involved, so I'm looking for information on how to get started. :)

I had a buddy (ex roadracer) that did the heads for a spec (mini?) sprint series. They all used GSXR1100 motors. He was really into it, and that from a M/C racer. That was prolly before you were born... :D

You ain't kidding...It seems like most of the drivers are driving for a car owner, so I was wondering how to get started. I figure I would have to put my own team together and prove myself before anyone gave me a shot in their car, but who knows.

I grew up going to sprint car races, my second cousin was JC Agajanian and owned Ascot raceway in Gardena, those were great nights at the races.

That's awesome that you've got your kids racing. I am interested in either 360 or 410 sprint cars. I got a taste of a 360 at Kruseman's school and knew that is what I wanted to do. How did you guys get involved?
Where are you guys running this weekend? I will be out of town, so I won't be able to make it this time. Good luck out there. :)
