Too Tall Osborne, Briggs Danner Debut on Springfield Mile Dirt during Illinois State Fair 

Thanks...Briggs Danner is certainly a rising star in open-wheel racing. Thanks for your support...HMM

Man I'm totally jealous. I should be going to Whitefish too. It's getting to be that time of year. HMM

@@HistoryMysteryMan I'm so looking forward to going to Whitefish Point. I've heard the entire visit for most folks is really emotional. And it really brings a person closer to the Fitz.

@@chuckg6039 I'd like to go too...cut some videos from up there...and while I'm there, maximize my trip with other meaningful places...maybe Superior and Duluth.

Glad to have you along, Elroy...thanks friend. HMM

Thanks again, Steve...always appreciated. HMM

Briggs has got a big future...well spoken and very skilled in the race car. Thanks Walkers! HMM

Yep I became a TALL fan myself after the interview last year. I did get to see him race in Hutchinson on the half mile where he finished 3rd in the USAC car. Wanted to get a T shirt but he was too far away to walk for me😂.

Thanks Roger. It would was good to see Trey make the show last night at Kokomo...first night of USAC's Smackdown.

Thanks...the appreciation is mutual; thanks for your support! HMM

Yeah...Justin Grant is a class-act...big fan here. Trey did a nice job last night at the Kokomo Smackdown. Briggs Danner, I believe, has a big future. There ain't nothing like being against that rail with Champ Cars whizzing by. Probably not too smart to be standing down there, but I have a hard time refraining from it for a few seconds, despite the risk. Thanks for coming along...HMM

Thanks Robert. The live Fair music is the best...and fits right in! HMM

You're always welcome; thanks for watching...HMM

Yeah...I love that era...late 60s, early 70s. Thanks for watching from Australia! HMM

Thanks again, Birtech77...always appreciate you. HMM

So many thanks! HMM

Thanks again! HMM

Great young man, on and off the track...thanks Jeffrey. HMM

6 feet, 8 inches! Great guy. Thanks for watching...HMM

I'll buy that! Thanks...HMM

You're welcome; thanks for watching! HMM

I'll buy that! Thanks...HMM

I'll buy that; I'm sure he would too! Thanks...HMM

Yeah...it really is that awesome. And with the State Fair alongside...great atmosphere! Thanks again...HMM

Thanks again, Bill. Not too much of a techy, but I can find out on the fuel injection or throttle body thing. I thought they were all still fuel injection in Silver Crown. Anyone else? HMM

Awesome stuff Steven; thanks for sharing that story here. I was super impressed by Mr. Landers...perfect Fair music for the video. Thanks again my friend...HMM

Justin Grant is pure class...love that dude. Thanks Marie...HMM

@@HistoryMysteryMan he will talk to you and answer any questions. I love his family. His wife is a sweet heart and the kids are adorable. The whole Grant family have class

Can I get her number?

Can I get her number?

Yeah...I love Springfield...did some sightseeing too while I was there. Next time, stop me and say hi...thanks. HMM

Thanks! Yeah...attendance was really good at the Illinois State Fair, but not so much at the races. I'm hopeful it will come back, but I just don't know. I will say that the State Fair grandstand holds a lot of people so there are always more up there than one may realize. HMM

Thanks...yeah I'd love to. HMM

That's super cool...thanks for sharing that story here, Scott. HMM

I hear you loud and clear. Thanks...HMM

Thanks Gregg...the Illinois State Fair races are so much fun to cover...you've got so much to work with. I can see great futures for both Trey and Briggs. Schrader made the race by earning the last transfer spot in the B-Main. Then, after the cars rolled off for the main event, I was hustling down to the inside rail in turns 3 and 4 when I saw Schrader riding his little two-wheeler in street clothes. So...I have no idea why Schrader didn't start the race.

No problem , thanks for info on Schrader. As far as I know the McQuinn team is relatively low budget, maybe they damaged an engine or had some other type of failure.

@@greggrauscher34 Or, based on what they'd earn, it wasn't worth it to burn the fuel, tires, wear & tear...hard to say.

Are you sure you have enough emoji's there? I mean, there's always room for more.

That's not what this channel is really about, though. It's more about the "faces" behind the helmets. Maybe this isn't the channel for you, but there's a lot of content to go through if you like.

History Mystery Man IS the man!!

I do everything with my cell phone. On-track content is not what my channel is about; I do more 'behind the scenes' stuff. If you're looking for on-track, check in with Flo and/or DirtVision, the pros who have all the right equipment.

@@HistoryMysteryMan We thank, oh "International Man of Mystery" for all you do for the sport we love!! All the best, and cheers 🍻 from Australia!

Yeah...Danner is quite the dude...good racer. Thanks Marie...HMM

Illinois State Fair is the best...been going since I was a little kid. The atmosphere is awesome! Thanks...HMM

You're welcome Dee. I love Springfield! HMM

You're welcome Jim...thanks again. HMM

Yes it is...thanks! HMM

That's the one...Knoxville. Who's going to turn down a camper-cooked fresh breakfast...not this dude! Thanks for your support, Mike. HMM

And I do love it...the Champ Cars on the miles...so cool. JG is a class act. Thanks again, William...HMM

Thanks John. The Silver Crown cars are beautiful...and you can't do the race without checking out the Illinois State Fair...Ribeye sandwiches are amazing! HMM

And it's fun to watch when you're right down there by the rail! HMM

I'd say about 130mph down the straightaways. Anyone else?

I'll bring my shears next time...

Yeah...gotta love the mile dirts, especially because there are so few of them left...makes Springfield and DuQuoin that much more valuable. I love 'em both! The State Fair atmospheres are off-the-charts cool. Thanks again, manga12. HMM

@@HistoryMysteryMan yea I would however just be happy if they had a large dirt track in the indy area again, they got every other kind of track and racing, just a half mile just one big enough we can have silver crown racing on dirt in indy again or in the area, I ligit tried to ask doug bolls the presedent of ims if they would consider making the dirt track bigger but turns out it was mr johnny parsons at kokomo, had a photo taken with him the presedent of the brickyard used my camera to take a picture of me and mr parsons no joke, just happened to be in the right place at the right time in the front row, would be nice if could even get a temp half mile inside the limestoned mile like used to have, they will do stunts, monstertrucks, demo derby but not willing to have one day a year to have champ cars inside the track of champions, its not right man the racing capital of the world, it was for intents and purpose the 2nd contiunous oldest use auto racing track in the nation, only to milwalki though its said first auto race was at knoxvill iowa between two guys well before the miles in 1903 but it was a one off, soo much litteral history at the state fair track in indy, dont get me wrong I like horses I did 4 h and my cousin had some but not at the cost of what keeps indiana on the map , we arn't kentucky, honestly I would love a full 100 lap silver crown race at eldora I think I read on third turn .com though the most eldora has ever done for silver crown was 60 laps even with an independant outside the 4 crown nationals race, tried to ask tony at the rumble consider doing a 100 lap race outside of the 4 crowns, they got the world 100 after all, I would just be happy with one more dirt half mile race closer then terrehaute in indiana though, its how they are ment to run, of course though its the pavement drivers that are the ones that are the best silver crown drivers or have the perchent to pavment vs dirt like kody and bobby, tyler roarig, taylor ferns, dekota armstrong, kyle ogara and the usually good qualifying dereck bischak though I havenot seen him since the hoosier, I know he is still racing though in the 500 sprint car tour but haven't seen him in a pavement silver crown race, hes local to me or at least his birthplace is up by angola about 30 minutes from auburn, also we got the acd fest this weekend if you arn't buissy you should come more antique and sports cars then you can shake a stick at some are even old race cars that are up for auction just west of the city by the interstate

Love the Champ Cars! Especially on the Mile Dirts...thanks again. HMM

Cool! So you were there the day that Jack came out of retirement to drive Leslie's car? Great story! HMM

Then you gotta go sometime if you're able. The State Fair atmosphere combined with the racing, is so dang cool. Then there's Lincoln. Thanks again...HMM

Absolutely! Thanks again, Greg. HMM

You're always welcome, Wayne...HMM
