Thanks..I always enjoy this televised event. The downside is that the
ESPN coverage has eroded into so many commercials and fluff stuff. I
tape it and then fast forward through the commercials.
I reran a 1991? tape recently, while duping for a friend, and marveled
at the race coverage...quantity & quality. Great content with an
emotional Sam Posey as he recounted his Tran-Am days and fellow drivers
who passed on....and there was a trophy awarded in honor of Jim
Patterson (Iowa Boy) who was deeply involved in this series.
Of course, I know, this great coverage has been overshadowed
by....$$$$$$$$$$$
enuf of this whining.
BTW, I thought SpeedVision did a nice job on the RunOffs
