Tom Compton's Promise to us at the US Nationals

[Alex Denysenko]

Last time I had a idea I was waiting at the US nationals payout window in 2000 waiting for my whopping $500 check after going 5 rounds in SS watching the Greek collect $1700 and he never even qualified, that's when we compared checks and operational costs and he told me to get a fuel car RIGHT THEN AND THERE the idea for the ORIGINAL USCN was born
as far as believing ANYTHING Compton ever tells a sportsman racer, DON'T! Twice I WAS SUMMONED TO HIS PRESENCE both times I was picked up and delivered to him by Unk, once in St louis, and the second time was at the 2001 World Finals was fed a load of crap both times nothing came of either meeting, other than he wanted assurances that susequent USCN wouldn't bump heads with other NHRA national events again
