Oh yeah ... I forgot about Orange Show being converted to dirt.

We raced USAC Focus Midgets there from 2005-2011 (obviously when it was pavement). Orange Show was part of the Western States USAC Tour.

Do you know Walt Boyd & Kyle Cline? They raced Dwarf cars & the USAC Focus Midgets.

I have met Walt Boyd a few times, he is a character!! Don't know Kyle by name ...may know him by car. We've been doing dwarf cars since end of 2009 (I don't drive I wrench). Since you're into pavement... I used to help out a couple of roundy round drivers at Saugus Speedway back in the 80's, and we used to build engines for a lot of cars there (Bill Loe racing engines)..

We ran Orange show Mesa Marin and El Cajon on occasions. Bill Loe went on to work for Spears then Bill Moropoles (sp) doing engines for irwindale and now has a shop up in Bako doing engines for that new track and some dirt cars You know him??

I don't know Bill Loe, but I'm sure I've ran into him at the races.

Over the years we've ran Mesa Marin & El Cajon too. Sorry when they both closed.

I know of Bill Maropulos ... first from Drag racing in the 80's ... then from stock car racing the last decade or so. He is a heck of an engine builder, but I didn't work with him, as we had our our engine development programs (in-house & outside alliances) over the years.

Are you going to Good Guys this weekend in Pleasanton?

No I'm not going to Pleasanton, far drive for me (SFV here) and I should be at OSS tomorrow

[Ron Sutton]

Good luck at O-Show.

I'm going to GG in Pleasanton to hang out with my racin' buddy Mike Maier & watch the AutoX competition.

I'm building a multi-purpose hot rod to run road courses, drags & AutoX, along with driving it on the street a lot.

Take care !

Sounds like they're good matrimonial material.
