This is a more serious post, LOL.

I never expected what I saw at Hillsborough this Saturday. Way more cars that I was expecting. High quality show cars and a wide spectrum of vintage race cars the exceeded anything that I had envisioned. Billy Bisco had 4-5 early cars, and I was really impressed with the Bill/Marrio Rossi and the Petty Cup cars. It was way cool to match faces to names as well. Jeff Gilder was particularly helpful for my first visit and I really enjoyed meeting Tim Leeming and Jimmy Johnson as well when I first got there.

Good food, plenty of souveniers, a huge gaggle of cars and PERFECT weather. I hope some one posts pictures.

Thanks RacersReunion folks, you made me feel at home and I have not had a more enjoyable time in many years.

Note to Will: You WERE at home! All the folks are racing folks and you are certainly well encompassed in that. What an honor and pleasure to meet you.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Perry, it was great seeing you and Greg this weekend. As I said, anytime anything racing is happening in Spartanburg, please let me know. I would love to be there if circumstances permit. Thanks for all you do.
