Haha I can just imagine a bunch of Botswanans talking about some crazy white man riding a damn bicycle across the country.

Hey Al! You were the favorite racing driver when I was a young kid in the 90s. My oldest memory I have is sitting in Thunder Valley at Mid-Ohio for the Miller 200 in 1996. I grew up around racing and watching the CART series. You guys were part of what led me to my own small racing career in karts and SCCA. Thank you for inspiring the current generation of American racers!

Now to my questions.

  1. You experienced the peak of American Open-wheel racing first hand, while also at the peak of your own career. What made that time special from a driver standpoint?

  2. Also, what was the mood around the paddock, from teams and drivers, after the split in 1996?
