No ...
It’s True. I stood on the Podium with Arie in 1997 and I have the Ring to prove it.
Pictures too.I was the ‘Wire Guy’. Team mate Scott Goodyear came in second for a
1-2 finish !
Wild Times indeed! If I was really concerned with “Retirement Finances” I should have stayed it That line of Work.

“I have the Ring to prove it.”

Good on you buddy ... that is so cool.

It’s amazing the people you come across on FR.
I’v never been closer to a 500 then the other side of a boob tube, but I always thought that was real racing ...
much better than turn left.. turn left .. turn left

Every old man should have some memories and stories to tell...
I bet you have some good ones.... not that your an old man ..

Now I’m going to tell folks I know a guy ..... so I have another cool story ha ha

Pretty amazing. My husband ran into Scott Goodyear and had a lengthy conversation with him in Phoenix, AZ at a race in the late 90’s. He’s been to the Indy 500 many times. He’s a big fan of Formula 1 , Indy Cars and other non-Nascar racing.

Interesting, and thanks for sharing. There are a great deal of interesting people posting on FR.

Took a bit of research to find the team, Treadway Racing, who competed during the IRL incursion for six years.

What seems missing is the role of “wire guy”.

attempts at scoping that out leads to horse racing terminology which left me wondering.
