This is really cool! A fellow from Illinois, Bill Caswell, ran this major event, with drivers paid in the millions, in an old car he bought on Craigslist.

(At the 2004 One Lap of America this guy Caswell and his sister showed up with an E30 M3 just before registration/tech closed. Neil and I helped them get through it and put stickers on their car. He seemed totally clueless. At the first event the next morning at Heartland Park in Kansas, he ask me if he could run in front of me despite a much lower seeding. He told me he would be real fast. Well he WAS. It turned out he had done some racing and the car had an S50 engine. Recently I've seen the Roundel writer Sam Smith mention some wild things he's done with Caswell)
