Park" in his midget was a night I'll never forget.

In August of 1981 Rich Vogler swept the annual 2 day USAC midget show at Colorado National Speedway. He was driving for Jack Fitzpatrick, in a LTC VW #39, he dominated both features, if I remember correctly.

5118- Thought it was 1987. You could be right about 1989. Guess I'm getting old.

From Wiki: Rich Vogler (July 26, 1950, Chicago, Illinois – July 21, 1990, Salem, Indiana) was a champion sprint car and midget car driver. He was nicknamed "Rapid Rich". [1] He competed in the Indianapolis 500 five times, his best finish was eighth in 1989.
..would say that means he finished in '89. Maybe '88 or John was right?
