Another quick one about Schuler - a bunch of years back Steve Tilford (RIP) made a poorly veiled attack at Prairie State series for how much they were charging, etc. Implying it was a tactic from race directors that just want money and don't care about the journeymen racers.
I chimed off in the comment section defending the race promoters and roughly telling Tilly to shove it.
A year or two later Tom stops and talks to me at one of the races and say, "Hey btw I wanted to thank you for what you said to Tilford when he attacked us. I was sitting there trying to formulate some sort of correct response and then all of a sudden I was told, 'hold on...Rob is jumping in...let's see where this goes' . Turned out it was good enough we didn't have to get involved. Thank you. ..... between us though I just think Tilford is still just pissed because of all those years I could always kick his ass."
