Karamesines truly does "get no respect"

[Just Paul]

Joey Tomato still had a good year in 90.

Biggest kick for me in that vid was Lance Larson

That was great video to see. I rember seeing an interview with Gary Ormsby before the Monday morning final round. (I believe ther was an oildown in Akly F/C and it took forever to clean it up, so they had to run the finals Monday. No lights at Sanair) Gary said something like that if he wasn't in the Championship hunt that season, he didn't know if he would even bring his car up for the final. He said he would just let the Greek have it. I always thought that was nice.

Well... Think of it this way, The Greek has spent more time in the restroom at racetracks than some current drivers have spent behind the wheel of a fuel car. Dont get me wrong, I really like a lot of the drivers currently out on tour, bur I totally respect Mr. Karamesines and all he has accomplished. Add in the fact that he is still driving a fuel car, come on he deserves a half hour
biography.

Mike, What track is that at? Martin maybe. The guy in the blue shirt looks like John Mihalko of Gottschalk & Mihalko BB/FC

Last time I saw the Greek, he still had a Chaparral trailer. I wonder how many trucks he used up pulling that trailer?

Atlanta 09

So I was right, it was Martin. To me the PHR Championships was one of the best meets to around.

He has more quarter mile passes than all the drivers in all the pro fields put together, and he does it on his own dime.

they sure talked about him alot, would have been nice to get him on camera, even if it was to watch him deny how old he is. Hope to see him at some more races this year

Well of course! Nitromater speaks + ESPN listens!

 

[rick]

it was pretty cool seeing the Greek out there racing and seeing the coverage where they was talking about him

 

[my friends call me Zappy]

Yer right. They interview Gary S. on the phone and he's not even racing this year, but not one word with "THE GREEK". Just ain't right.
