Schaefer: It's not just for racing anymore.

Yes, I was there! I remember it was a great race but I don't remember specific details. I do remember cutting up with Tiny Lund afterwards. He was in a good mood (as he was most times) in spite of the disappointment. Thanks for posting Dennis. Thanks for the additions Chase.

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.

Thanks Dennis great story right in my backyard in 1968
