Salem Charts Ambitious Auto Racing Path Against Giants

Dick Salem embraces road racing as a personal quest and performance art. He ran seven Formula Ford races in eight weeks last year, did his own maintenance, and budgeted 200 dollars weekly. He owns a Porsche 911 worth about 17 thousand dollars and plans eight to ten Trans-Am Challenge Cup starts with 500 to 1000 dollars per race. He will face mostly more powerful rivals with wider tires, yet hopes to match them with fuel efficiency and precision. Salem believes Lincoln can compete nationally and that larger crowds boost his performance. He notes fans have told him they saw him excel on turn five, inspiring others to believe.
