I want to send out my Thanks to everyone that made this thing happen. The rain on Friday threw a huge wrench into the spokes on us.
I had basically given up on having anything at all... but a few people refused to take "no" for an answer. That right there told me how much this event means to some people.
I had no idea what to expect out of the day, so I told myself not to have ANY expectations. I figured a little bit of something, beats a whole lot of nothing. I was pretty impressed with the amount of Vintage Cars that showed (13), plus I knew of 2 that were there, but had to go home on Friday, and 2 more that broke down on there way there. That's 17 guys that I KNOW of that made every attempt to be there to run for NO purse, no trophies... only the smile that they get from cranking these puppies up. They all had a blast, and I couldn't have been more proud of this group of people.
As for the former drivers, it was just plain too cold to stick around for any length of time. I couldn't blame them one single bit for heading out early... I'm just grateful they made the effort to be there.
Some of the people who did make it there were Bugs Stevens, Gene Bergin, Goerge Summers, Jim McGraw, Don Stives, Richie Gomes, Leo Cleary, Joe Buchek Sr. & Jr. , Nick Ronca, Ed Ortiz, Dick Montgomery, Jim Fenton, and I'm sure others that I either didn't meet, or am not recalling from memory.
All in all.... I had a GREAT time, and I sincerely thank everyone who made this possible.
P.S.- when I have a little more time, I will give a full rundown of the Vintage racers
