"So what happened at work today dear," Vicki Bacho might have asked in the last week of July, 1981. I probably replied, "did a story on sprint car racing that was pretty interesting." I then probably also changed the subject.
The photo caption from the front page of the Aug. 5, 1981 edition of National Speed Sport News reads:
"A NEW ANGLE--In order to stimulate interest in Northern Ohio and Michigan sprint car racing, Sprints On Dirt point leader John Naida let Ted Bacho, a TV cameraman from WTVG-TV, mount his sprinter for a few laps around Ohio's Oakshade Raceway. Bacho, obviously unfazed by the Channel 13 designation, got his footage and 13 newscaster John Gillespie also got a ride in the car as well. No track records were set. (Dennis Charles photo)"

That's pretty cool - do you still have any of that footage you shot for that?
