"The folks you meet will likely become strong friends and a special bond was formed by many of those in attendance.. maybe the best part". That sure is true! I don't think Frank is AS crazy now LOL Great to know all in person finally.
AFA Bonneville - you are right there amongst all the people and machines. In the pits, at the starting lines, riding/driving chase vehicle, wrenching or schleping for OUR team, shagging the timing slips, helping tear down engines for record verifications, running your own ride, rolling dice or pulling levers at the casinos, etc and beer is always cold.
Mooshie, I know it's early but do you have any October dates yet?
