Updated 7/9/2010
That new section I told you about is here! I've added a section on riding
mechanics. It's far from complete, the data is pretty hard to come by, but
as far as I can tell it's the most complete listing of Indy Car riding mechanics
around. In addition to the mechanic pages, I've also added the data to the
driver and race pages. The bottom of the driver page will show a listing
of mechanics that rode with the driver, and the bottom of the race page will
show the mechanics who rode in the race, where known. There are a couple
of acknowledgements I'd like to make. First thanks to Rick Kelly for his
help on this project. Also I should credit the work of John Blazier and
Tom Rollings. They've put together a booklet - "Forgotten Heroes of the
Speedway: The Riding Mechanics" - that I'd certainly recommend.

Happy Birthday! ChampCarStats.com turns six years old today. There's
no new update today, I realize there hasn't been anything new in a while, but
that's going to change soon. There's a brand new section that's going to
be added in the next couple of weeks. If you're a fan of the early days of
the sport you'll find this one interesting. Also I'm hoping one of the
site's readers can help me with another project, finishing up the Atlantic
Championship section. I've got full results for most of the races, but
there are still a few seasons where I have some gaps. Specifically, there
are races in 1980, 1986, 1987 and 1988 that I don't have full results for.
If anyone out there does have full data for those years I can let you know
exactly which races I need results for. Thanks for any help.
