David Vance is going to have an enjoyable few days. His old Kentucky Colonels are getting back together.
Vance is the long-time Oklahoma City resident who was general manager of Remington Park when pari-mutuel horse racing came to OKC in 1988. Vance now is owner of Vance Management LLC.
But in a previous life, Vance was with the Kentucky Colonels of the American Basketball Association. He started out in public relations and ended up as general manager.
The ABA was a startup league that rivaled the NBA from 1967-76. It finally folded, with four teams merged into the NBA – the Spurs, Nuggets, Nets and Pacers.
