Verlin Eaker undecided on IMCA circuit fate
Iowa racing note Verlin Eaker has not committed to the national IMCA circuit. He could race nationally or stay regional depending on whether his 1967 Dodge, owned by Larry Ryan, sells to Ed Janey. Ryan sold due to IMCA rule changes and Eaker would drive for Janey if the deal completes.
