interesting sideline note
"The King of the Outlaws," Steve Kinser (410 sprint cars), was runner-up in the Indiana State Wrestling Tournament as a sophomore and was the state wrestling champ in both his Junior and Senior years. He was champion of the 132-pound class. Kinser said how the quickness required in wrestling drills, plus the mental toughness to be competitive, were lessons learned which helped him to be a champion sprint car driver.

Been a Kinser fan since the early eighties, but it sure would be hard to picture him now in the 132 pound class lol it would be at least the 232 lbs+ but hey I was the same way when I was young too and then with age the pounds creep on. He also gave Sammy Swindell an a$$ kicking and not just on the track a few times too.Originally posted by jhanson View Post"The King of the Outlaws," Steve Kinser (410 sprint cars), was runner-up in the Indiana State Wrestling Tournament as a sophomore and was the state wrestling champ in both his Junior and Senior years.

Pete Parker in wrestling would equal Baron von Raschke and the claw, because Pete has such big hands and if he ever got a hold of you with them and was mad, it would be lights out for you.Originally posted by jhanson View PostYes, Bruno Sammartino the pro wrestler would be in his early 80s now, if he is still alive.

Another Sideline Note: Probably 25 years ago I drove into the old Atomic Speedway west of Knoxville, Tennessee. It was not a racing night but I wanted to see the track because one guy said the banking on the Atomic track was similar to Cedar Lake. I was surprised to see kind of like a small carnival set up at the track. If I remember correctly, there was a tent awning and ring ropes. I asked what was going on and some people said they either had or were going to have a pro-wrestling card at Atomic Speedway. ---hee hee hee---I kid you not. I ain't been eating bad
mushrooms. Maybe you could incorporate the name of "Atomic" with some driver who was a regular at the old Atomic Speedway. Jim Hanson----Pine City, Minnesota
