"the Don" Late Models At Cmp

[Gary J]

Hi Carol

What is so different about Lake City ? and no was not trying to promote any track, nowdays I mostly visit Eastbay. would like to visit Columbia. Please tell Cindy Petty hello for me if she still attends your track.

gary...

im sure cindy read your post but i will tell her anyway!
the ride to columbia becomes pretty around ocala... its hilly and lots of horse ranches... the road going into the speedway is a tree lined canopy.. beautiful... then it all opens up to a beautiful field and a track that takes you back in time... the grandstands are huge blocks of concrete where one can take a chaise lounge or just sit... .
it is just different... quaint and lovely... i love the place.
just my opinion... i didnt get to see the race because it rained... ;-( was the first Cecil Williams Memorial race and i really wanted to support Patrick... it wasnt to be but i did get to meet Ricky Carmichael that night and that was an absolute pleasure... a memorable experience. even going in town... we stopped to get something to eat and there was a porch on the place with rocking chairs. some guys were "rockin" (snicker) so i talked to them for awhile. that was also like going back in time. they talked about the good ole days when they raced.... port charlotte is my home.. it is a flat place where modern times have pretty much obliterated the natural beauty.... it was nice to return to a more natural environment... ;-) like i said... "just my opinion"...

OK, you are correct...i just take all of the beauty up here for granted, I guess. You're right about the bleachers too. Sitting in a chair sure beats benches! If you forget your chair, you can also rent one for a dollar! The track itself is great to race on, I just thought you were describing the facilities as Gorgeous.

Really? Only eight cars?

I don't see any results on the CMP website, so I'm just curious.

[Todd McCreary]

certainly not an attempt to get a mention for another track and at the same time indulge in some Nerone envy .

Nerone envy? i think you'd better go back and look at the total number of cars that started and finished the "The Don".

your statement doesn't exactly mesh with the facts.
