Sorry to hear about Rick Means passing. He was always a class act in and out of racing. I always loved his beautiful #65 Sportsman cars at Speedway Park. I don't really remember the Wednesday show at Speedway but do remember packed stands on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. I was fortunate enough to be the Chief Flagman for the Stock Car shows on Saturday ( Claimers ( think Cruisers ), Sportsman and Late Models ) as well as the Motorcycle and Volkswagens, and occassionally the Super Modifieds. I was not a fan of Otis Rich even before the split, but Albq. did manage to do a great job of supporting two dirt tracks for several years. Things may not be perfect at Sandia Speedway but we are lucky to still have a local dirt track to support, and the show this year has been very good if not great. Rest in peace Rick. Have A Great Day God Bless Everybody
