F5RACING Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Nevermind. Read it on the WoO site. Did they determine what the foreign substance was? Pretty stiff fine. Might as well take a year off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyman85 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) For those who are curious: do a google search on Jan Opperman and just read a little about him. He was a dude that lived hard and rough for most of his life, but then turned his life around. Many in the sprint car world will tell you he was the best in his day. He didn't win as many features as the Kinser's or Swindell's or Doty's of the world, but he was a guy most everyone admired. His 'hippie' style was a first hense the 'outlaw". He opened a boy's home in Montana for troubled youth and turned many kids lives around. His last horrific crash at Jennerstown, PA in a sprint car pretty much killed him. He was an invilid for the last 15-16 years of his life until his death in 1997. Edited December 18, 2009 by toyman85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Hogan Racing Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I remember watching Jan Opperman at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, MO. That was many years ago. Has anyone ever heard of Bill Utz? Bill was one of the local drivers from Sedalia that drove for Pat O'Connor who was a wrestler in the late 60's and early 70's. Bill is in the Sprintcar Hall of Fame. He was the smoothest dirt driver I have ever seen. I hear that his grandson is driving now. I would like to see if he is as smooth as Bill. I went back to Missouri in 1993 and took my grandfather back to the local track, Capitol Speedway, and who shows up but Bill Utz, still driving a sprintcar as smooth as ever. I had thought he would have long been retired from racing but there he was putting on a "dirt clinic"! Wow, a trip down memory lane. Thanks for indulging me.
