Bobby Allison. I was with my parents on a Sunday drive and we were listening to a NASCAR (although I don't know if that's what they called them at the time) race in Riverside California. If I remember right he an A.J. Foyt were having a pretty good duel. I don't remember who won but I remember pulling for Bobby. And speaking of A.J. , I've also been a fan of his for years. He disappointed me at TMS but I'm still a fan, warts and all. Rick

Hey I rememeber Dave Scarborough. In the 70's I believe he may have raced some ASA races. I think he may have raced at the Redbud 300 Anderson, In a couple times. I remember seeing Mark Martin a couple times in that race and it seems like Scarborough may have driven Jim Blount's or Don Higgins" car one year.

I met him at Winchester Speedway in Indiana on Memorial Day in 1977 for a 200 lap ASA late model race. He drove a 77 Nova sponsored by Gatorade. He was pretty competitive considering the other drivers like Mark Martin, Bob Senneker...all were running the faster Camaros and Trans Am's. Mark was like 16 at the time I believe and was gunning for rookie of the year for the ASA!

He was one of the only F1 driver to have mastered perfectly his car, and his talents were way underestimated. His statistics don't show really his great talents. He was able to drive a F1 beyoung the limits, and only few of have been able. His death was a big slap in the face of the F1, like Jim Clark and Ayrton Senna. Gilles Villeneuve is considered as a God in Italy, so they have a reason for that. Tifosis knows racing, and if they tell that Gilles was the best F1 driver ever, it must be right. Jacques, even if he has some of his father's ***, isn't like Gilles. We all would love to see Gilles many more years, and I respect him very much, With great respect, Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) SPEED- Public relations director SPEED- Cars, WC, BGN, Trucks, IROC, utilities and more...
