Roy Hill Entry

Let me tell you a little Roy Hill Story. I'd have to look through my pictures to find the date, but, some time in the mid 1990's, Roy, myself and a couple other IHRA "PROS" were ask to do some PR for IHRA in Neb., before the Nats in Scribner. We got to meet the Governor, do some radio talk shows,TV, yada, yada, yada. The highlite of the deal was going to the Childrens Hospital. After the tour, which included a burn unit, Roy said, " We should buy these kids some gifts." I said, cool ...count me in. We went to the hospital gift shop. Roy, told the lady we needed some gifts for the kids. She said, which ones? Roy said ....EVERY KID IN THE HOSPITAL !!!!. ( after a quick check of my credit card limit .) I said OK let's do it. Roy made it happen ...we bought every kid in the hospital a gift of some kind. And, we took them to every room. Not one child was left out...Say what you want...Roy's OK in my book. It was one of the best memories of my racing career...Roy should get free entry to any event he wants. Jim Bailey
