Re: Sylvia Sweeney.
I was on the crew for Dan Martin in 1979 and we shared the pit with the "Sumpthin Else" team.
I remember Sylvia jumping around overwhelmed and almost passing out as John Crocker crossed home pylon winning the Gold Race. And the "We Won" that they put on their motor-home with vynil letters.
The Sweeny's were the main motivation behind NAG changing from the North-West Area Group of the Professional Race Pilots Assoc.(PRPA) and becoming its own organization National Air-racing Group - along with Frank Ronco, Don Ryder, ect
remember the Oogahonk!
