Hey guys,

        Sorry for the off topic post, I have been mulling over paint scheme ideas
for the stock car for the first full season next year. Anyway it is going
to be a kind of tribute car so some of the racers I admired growing up,
mostly Dale Earnhardt and Alan Kulwicki, but also got to reminiscing about
some other drivers we have lost over the years of my youth and got to
remembering Rich Vogler. He was a huge USAC driver and won tons of races
(second all time on the USAC list to a guy named A.J. Foyt) and I remember
watching him race on the old Thursday Night Thunder on ESPN. Remember the
night he died pretty clearly as well...well I got to looking for some web
pages dedicated to him and came up blank on Google and Yahoo and even eBay
had no memorabilia for sale for him. A long shot I know but thought I would
see if anyone had any listings for web sites about him, or even any stories
to share about Rich.

Thanks!
