Like the first one 13 years ago,,, this race was unforgettable. The cars were amazing, the racing was top notch, and yeah,, there were some gaps in the action,, but overall things went very smooth. The temps were a little cool at times, but that's something we all put up with. The thing that really made this race was the PEOPLE, whether they were staff,, other fans,, racers or venders, it was amazing to meet some of the "names" I've corresponded with on this forum over the years, and to see again those who I'd previously met. Thank you to those that came up to me and introduced yourselves, it was much appreciated by me and my 2 buddies.
I know I'm forgetting someone,, but in no particular order,, the hands I shook and faces I greeted again are:
Don Dimeler and Myron Piatek (also staying at our hotel)
Mike Bassin (an honor to meet you, sir and to give you a break on the mic)
Mr. & Mrs. Bill Seabrook
Dave Turner
Stephen Johnson( you're taking great care of an 'ol NW legend)
Mr. Sayre (and his beautiful black COPO)
Ed Carpenter( love your Chevy II, actually, I love all '66s)
Joe Schaechter
Dan Fahey
Larry and Patsy Hill (good to see you again, hope you enjoy the pics)
Chris Hill
Rob,, of Rob's Need For Speed videos.
Lynn Norton (racing historian)
The gentleman with the 6 cyl Chevelle wagon ( also at our hotel)
Mike and Janice Fuller (thanks for picking up my lost cell phone)
Doug Jonak and wife ( proof that strange coincidences DO happen)
Nitro Joe ( you were very busy, but still took a moment to shake our hands)
Bill "Redman" Floyd (thanks for taking our photo again, 13 years later)
Michael Beard ( what can I say, without you, none of us would've been there, did I thank you enough?)
We're all hoping theres another one,,, time will tell.
Once again, from my friends and me, thank you for all the hospitality.
