when you get into the big league like us .  your biggest worry were do i park my 75 foot hauler
 

In the early 80s I went to an ASA race with a driver that is now in the Canadian HOF I was just a pit crew member in an orange crew cab Ford pulling an open black trailer with a tire rack . When we pulled up to the track there was a line up of really nice new enclosed trailers that had become fashionable at the time and I remarked "dam these guys have some nice haulers" the driver / owner looked at me and said "don't worry we ain't racing $%$#&* trailers today" Then we set on the pole.

I doubt many here know who Mark Malcuit was/is but he would tow in with some pretty rough equipment on ratty @ss trailers and cars that were painted spray bomb flat black and then set track records . This is really going to date me but I towed up the road for years behind a guy that used an old Mountain Dew pop truck converted ramp truck that won about a 1000 short track races named Dick Trickle so your 75 foot hauler really doesn't impress me .

One of the last guys that followed the full ASA circut with an open trailer and a pick up was a guy named Alan Kulwicki and he did pretty well you may have heard of him .

Well Pinecrest, I happen to know Dr. Sizzle too and where you in New Smyrna when he bought all all of Jr. Hanley's cars (3), way back in 1980 for $90,000.00 american? I was 15 years old than and it was my first Florida experience and it is still a track record of the fastest Daytona 500 in history with  "Buddy Baker" winning, and Richie Evans dominated the modifieds. I too have knowledge of the past like when Don Beiderman won not 1, but both the races in 1978 @ Cayuga in the Maple Leaf 250 driving his Nova, and lapping Hanley in the second race. I also have a video and probably the only one of it's kind with Hanley and Beiderman shaking hands in Cayuga after a race in 1993. The good old days, man I miss them!

For your information it total feet.  What team does your brother drive for.  I'm involved with one of the biggest sno-cross teams in Canada.
