    i guess you a referring to David Hackett. Well, David rode for Tracker in the 70′s….and yes he rode for Indy… i guess there were hostility during that time… but people change and Hackett is good guy and the Tracker story will be represented in this book as we are trying implicate everyone that was a part of the Tracker family
