Cool series thanks for posting 👍🏻
Thank you. Wayne Lensing of Lefthander Chassis has one of Trickle's Mustangs.
The King, I still have a brand new Quaker state shirt signed by him My hero,
The King for sure! Thanks for watching...HMM
Great interview. Watched Steve race in New Zealand, Australia and New Zealand. Allways be the best Sprintcar driver to me. So dominant for such a long time.
Thanks for watching, Mike. HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan 6 months later re visited your excellent video and saw my error. The other country was USA. I went to Knoxville nationals in 1989 and ended up crewing. Amazing experience. Wolfgang won it that year. But Pevely was my favourite track. Hard to comprehend how fast they are there. Watched Steve and the family at Parramatta to against the Ozzie's and New Zealand's Barry Butterworth in Jan 1987. I think Steve won that one. Then we flew back to New Zealand a few days later and there was Steve Kinser sitting in economy with the whole clan. Randy, Kelly etc. on their way to Auckland for a connecting flight back to the USA. The Kinsers probably didn't realise that when they landed in Auckland they were little more than 10miles away from Western Springs Speedway, famous for its running of the 50 lapper, a race won by many Americans. Finally got to see him race in New Zealand in about 2018 at Western Springs. Not the best track for Sprintcars as very little banking and only a quarter mile. But he won the feature there to. Steve seems like a great guy. Enjoyed watching it again.
Thanks Mike...never been to Pevely. I've heard so much about Western Springs Speedway from my Australian/NZ friends.@@mikef500
He's definitely the king of the outlaws.
Ain't no doubt about it! Thanks for watching, Benny...HMM
Steve was the man.
The GOAT! Thanks Gregory...HMM
Thanks again! Great interview!!
The KING period!!!!!
No doubt about it...HMM
King Steve!
The one and only! Thanks for watching! HMM
Another great video! Thanks!
Thanks Roman; I appreciate you...HMM
The first time I even heard of Steve was at Ascot speedway. It was at the Peabody special in 1983. Everyone around us were going nuts about this guy. If I remember right, he timed in about 14th fastest. In his heat race, he moved up 1, maybe 2 spots. I think he started around 8th in the main. If my memory serves me right, it took around 5 laps for him to take the lead for good that night. He was racing wingless.The next day, we were at the old Riverside speedway to see an unknown by the name of Bill in a number 9 Ford thunder bird win his first ever Nascar car race.
Those are awesome stories; thanks for sharing them here...and thanks for watching! HMM
Great series!!! Thank you
Thanks Danny...greatly appreciated. HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan hope to run across you at a race this year.
@@dannyscobee6530 Track me down if you see me!
I would like to say thank you to Steve Kinser for doing this interview. I also want to thank him for being nice to a young college guy who was delivering a bunch of pizza during race season late one night. It was one of the kewlest moments in this guy's life. True gentleman
Man I love this story! Delivering pizza to Steve Kinser, and carrying that memory with you forever...that's awesome! Thanks for watching, Nick...HMM
Steve is and will always be the man when it comes to sprint cars as far as I am concerned. Watched him for years and enjoyed every minute of it!!
Steve is the unquestionable GOAT! Thanks Ray...HMM
Awesome ! Thank you Steve. HERO’
Thanks for watching...HMM
GOAT!!
I'm buying that...HMM
Steve is my all time favorite driver. I still have t-shirts magazines all kinds of memorabilia from when we used to go all over to watch the Outlaws race.
He ranks right up there for me, too. Thanks Diane...HMM
Great interview with one of the all-time greats of Sprint Car Racing. Thanks!
Thanks again, greg j...HMM
Once again thank you for sharing. We love Steve . We bought Open wheelers magazine in the 90's and always read about him back then. Very glad about TH-cam and internet these days. Make it easier too keep up with sprint car and midget racing in the USA. Greetings from South Africa.
Wow! South Africa! This is a first for me. I'm so honored you checked in from South Africa; thanks for your support, Michael...and help spread the word down there...thanks! HMM
The first time I saw Steve race what's at Lincoln Speedway in 1978 wingless First World of Outlaws racing PA very impressive the coming to our track and run like that truly an American Legend thank you
You're welcome Williams; thanks for watching...HMM
Maybe one of the most enjoyable things I ever seen on the net. Nobody will ever replace him, he's truly the greatest. I was fortunate enough to be a car owner in Steve's hay day... everybody knew you were running for second. Thanks again for allowing us to hear from him.
You're welcome! Thanks for taking the time to watch...HMM
Top Notch
Thanks, sir...HMM
As usual, great series on the King.
Thanks again, Gary...HMM
I appreciate this series! For me, you only increased my respect for Steve Kinser. I certainly wish I could have watched his Dad race as well. Thank you again!
Thanks again, Robert...I appreciate you too...HMM
Schrader is awesome on and off track.
Could not agree more; thanks James. HMM
I'd like to shake Steve's hand.
Me too; thanks for taking the time to watch! HMM
Long Live the King, Total Respect for Steve, as a former Local Pa. sprint team crew Member i've on more than one occasion been in His presents, we have pitted beside him at Learnerville speedway several times, as well as at several Tracks in Ohio. I loved that both Him and Karl were as nice and polite to Us as competitors as they were to everyone else.. there was Zero "Ego" with them.. Total Respect for them. Even Asked Karl for some Advise one night on OUR setup.. and he came over and gave us his opinion.. Not many would do that..
This is, in part, why I make these videos...to hear your great stories; thanks for sharing them here, Scott...HMM
Watching this now it's hard to believe this frumpy guy is probably the best sprint car driver ever.
There will never be another Sprint car driver better then Steve.
Thanks Steve
I'd have to agree...thanks again, David. HMM
You cover a part of the history of Motorsport that no one else does. You are doing a fabulous job entertaining us . Thanks
Thanks Dennis; I really appreciate that. What is it that you believe I'm covering that no one else is? Thanks for your input! HMM
Steve is a racing legion.
Great video Don God bless Steve kinser and the whole kinser family he was the best!
Thanks Alan! ole friend...HMM
Thank you for all your work bringing history here. I always wondered what happened to Karl Kinser after he retired, was not sure he was even alive. Was I surprised to watch your series on him and everyone else. Thank you again.
You're welcome Curt; thanks for watching...HMM
Long live The King ... Always will be the Goat 🐐 in my book .... 👍👍🙌👌🏁🏁🏁🥳🥳
No doubt...forever the GOAT. HMM
Thank you Don and thank you Steve for doing this!
You're welcome Ryan H...thanks! HMM
It's amazing that such a low key, soft spoken guy was such a terror on the dirt tracks of this country. Really enjoyed this series. Looking very forward to any more driver videos you might be able to pull off.
More on the way...thanks Chuck! HMM

Absolutely awesome set you have put together, I always look forward to what you come up with next. Thanks for all the work you put into these, Don, I really appreciate them.
You're the best Don...thanks! HMM
Once again…Great series!
The most insightful interview with Steve Kinser that I’ve ever seen…
Thanks Fred...so appreciated. HMM
You nailed it again Don “all the gladiators and pioneers who paved the way” sure is true…..i saw Steve race at our local “Baypark Speedway” here in New Zealand back in January 2006 along with his son Kraig, Swindle and others. I also saw him race at Baylands, CA in 85/86. What I get from this and other interviews is the “dirt” lifted these guys out of what may have been a life of unknown mundane 9 to 5 work/job(no offence intended), Steve(I guess) would have been a block layer following in his dads footsteps possibly, but also what such a pleasant and humble man, much respect. It may have been racing at its best but they were really in the “entertainment” industry, just so cool and way better than anything Hollywood as this was REAL. Us Kiwis and Aussies so luv America and all its fantastic people like you, Steve Kinser, Allan Barr and many others in the racing industry.
Dale...thanks. I really appreciate you. Your kind words toward Americans are so well received, and appreciated...and we send them straight back to you. Steve Kinser on a dirt bullring is way better than a Hollywood script. Thanks my friend...HMM
Great work again Don, thanks very much for your time, work, and effort. As I have said to you before you have found a nitsch that nobody has done and many appreciate!
Thanks again, Joel. And I'll keep doing it my friend...HMM
Another great series that I hated to see end. Can't wait to see who's next.
Thanks Bill; I appreciate it. HMM
Awesome finish to a great series of videos. Thank you so much for doing them. Ron
You're always welcome Ron...thanks again. HMM
What a gentlemen steve is. Just goes to prove you can win a ton of races and not be a tool. Take note Kyle Busch
Sitting here with broken leg getting caught up with ya, truly enjoyed the Kinser stories and all of them .
Thanks Scott. Hope that broken leg is on the mend. Hope you'll still watch after it heals! Thanks for your support...HMM
really great interview like to see some stories with the old engine builders what ran and how they built the cars and motors
Got something similar coming up...thanks Randall. HMM
Just want to say thanks for another great series on one of the greats . Have a great weekend and cant wait until the next videos
Thanks Cathy; I really appreciate you...HMM
Another great series. Loved it.
Thanks again, Jeff...HMM
Pages from my Hero, Txs ❤️
Really enjoyed this series. Have you ever done a series on Rick Ferkel "The Ohio Traveler"?
No, but that's a great idea! Thanks...HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan Yep, that is a great idea!
I would like to see you do something with the Blaney's at Sharon Speedway and Jac Haudenschild Kenny Jacobs and Brad Doty as they grew up together in racing.
Those are all great ideas; I'll see what I can do...thanks Jason. HMM
Thanks this was a great series you always have great content.
Thanks...so appreciated. Hocking Hills Honey Farm...sounds like an awesome place! HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan S.E. Ohio south of Lancaster
@@hockinghillshoneyfarm9273 Beautiful area!
Good stuff 👏
Thank Ray...HMM
Watched him many time at the clay by the bay. Also watched him at Florida state fairgrounds. He could be anywhere 5th to 10th in the pack with mabey 10 to go it was always the money night. Saturday with all the hitters in front of him and still win.
Steve Kinser is the GOAT! Thanks for watching, Brian...HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan
Heck he came down with a coil over car it was not getting around the bay. Came to our with Carl all business. A garage yes not a shop and changed it to a four bar. We had the original outlaw Rick for years stay at our property as well as Brad Doty before he could drive Jac Haudenchild before he could drive Johnny Beaber Bobby Allen more than I can remember at one time you name it they were at the Smiths garage.
@@briansmith5469 Cool stories...thanks for sharing them here! HMM
Without even watching I can tell you that the Ken Schrader story most likely involves Beer and getting into some sort of trouble
Can't get anything past you! Thanks man...HMM
I met Kenny at Knoxville (Nat} early 80's no wings, we was talking together by a ft. str. telephone, Sprint car flipped and headed our way and Kenny grabbed me, threw me away from the pole and saved my life. Over the years he would come race in my area, I keep hearing he likes drinking. The most I ever seen him drink was 2 beers 1 night at Donnelson Ia. He was the Best Missouri driver I have ever met. Folks Im sorry but I never watched Larry Phillips . I have never seen Kenny with a Drinking problem. Thanks Kenny
👍
Steve was always bad fast.
A question to Ken Schrader if this is ok? Many years ago Ken sent a photo to NSSN showing a bare chassis with a rear sway bar asking if it was one of Trickle's Mustangs . Do you still have that car?
See if I can find out...
As a kid from Iowa, the Indianapolis 500 is the "bigger" race...imolol
Great interview!
Not only a bigger race, but the biggest race event in the world. Thanks Byron...HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMani agree! Thanks!
