Just a reminder to folks that we are holding an official "Unofficial" RacersReunion visit to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC, this Saturday. Plans are to meet at the main entrance to the Hall of Fame at 10:00 a.m. Saturday for a tour and then lunch in Buffalo Wild Wings right there at the Hall.

We have done this, with smaller groups, twice before and both trips were really great. We had so many requests to do a Saturday trip that we are finally doing that. As of this writing, we have 26 on the list of those planning to attend and several of those are folks with a rich history in the sport. I won't start naming names here so as not to overlook someone or to have to explain why someone couldn't show when a last minute problem arises.

There is much to see at the Hall of Fame and while many of us disagree with the way the inductees are selected, the third floor, which contains the history, is a pretty comprehensive overview of the progress of the sport. Also, when you first come in and view the presentation of video in the great theater, you will see some racing clips you may never have seen before.

This site, RacersReunion, promotes honoring the true history and legacy of the sport. Whether or not we always agree with NASCAR decisions and/or explanations of events, we have the heritage to protect and share with those just discovering the sport. I'm sure you'll each find something at the Hall of Fame you will discover for the first time, no matter how long you've been in the sport.

Hope to see a huge crowd there Saturday. There may even be some "famous" people there but please don't ask Dave Fulton to point them out.

What a wonderful day to share with some really special folks. My sincere thanks for everyone who came out for the event. Just seems time passes so quickly when we're all together like that. I would like to personally thank Dave Fulton for properly recognizing my status this time with the sign he made for me.

Tim, Thank you for setting this visit up. Had a great time seeing so many people, catching up with some and putting faces to names which is great. Sat with Dave Fulton at lunch and had a great discussion with him and Randy Myers. Great group and was glad to see Miss Frances was able to be there. I believe everybody really enjoyed themselves. Thanks again. Take care.

Ok, folks, I appreciate all the "thank yous" I've received both here, via e-mail and via texts. But it was ALL of us who made this happen, not just me. There was no organization to it. The word was put out and a most wonderful group of folks came together to share some time. It was amazing and such a pleasure. I am very sorry Shan's car broke down on the way and she missed it. I was so happy to see Frances Flock. She adds sunshine and warmth to the cloudiest and coldest day. My deep and sincere thanks to each of you who made the day so special. We'll do it again in a few months. Any of you up for that?

It was a great trip but the thing I was thrilled about were the faces of the younger folks there. They are the future of our sport in so many ways. I hope we are able to keep them interested in what we have grown up with and hold so close. I know how easy it is to talk about how NASCAR isn't doing this or that to keep us interested. We need to let the next generation know that there is more than enough good to balance out any negatives. It's a great sport and a great family to be a part of.

Randy, you are so very right about the youngsters. . Some more races like the one Sunday at Martinsville can only help.
