Signman Ed, I should have worded that differently. It was generally krystiak.However, because it was a rivalry there were times when even The greatest driver of all time lost his temper. I can recall at Mercer one night krystiak taking Lou out in four. Lou came around and cranked him. My only point was, we loved to hate krystiak. We loved to love blaney. It drew me to the track as a young boy and has fueled my life with the love of racing I have today. It draws me to the track to watch or race every week. With flinner gone, there are no more rivalries. Bolland and swartzslammer are all thats left. What rivalries will fuel my daughters passion for the sport. (although I hope it is not a rivalry I have with a few guys out there.) If this sport is going to survive, "boys have at it" is what will bring people back.
Might bring fans back, but how long can people continue to fix the cars Bolland has no problem tearing up for them? Who wants to race in a division that has a guy who will blatantly crash anyone who he can't beat fair and square.
