WELL DAY 7 STARTED OUT PRETTY WELL. A GOOD FRIEND FROM INDY CAME DOWN AT ABOUT 7:00 AM AND WE HAD COFFEE AND DONUTS AND WALKED UP TO THE SHOW AND SHINE. I TOOK ABOUT 150 PICTURES AND HE TOOK ABOUT 300!
THEN ABOUT 11:00 I LEFT AND DROVE UP TO GLENDALE TO PICK UP MY YOUNGEST SON AND BRING HIM BACK TO THE REUNION. WE MET UP WITH THE FRIEND WALKED UP TO THE DRAGSTRIP, WATCHED ABOUT A HALF HOUR OF RACING AND A BIG STORM BLEW IN. THEY GOT THE TRACK DRIED OFF ABOUT 5:OO AND RACED ABOUT ANOTHER 45 MINUTES AND ANOTHER STORM BLEW IN.
SO, WE WENT BACK TO THE CAMPER, COOKED UP HAMBURGERS AND HOT ITALIAN SAUSAGE, AND HAD OURSELVES A FEAST. SAT AROUND UNTIL BEDTIME AND CALLED IT A NIGHT. IT WAS PRETTY RAUCOUS IN THE CAMPGROUND, WHAT WITH ALL THE HOT RODDERS DOING BURNOUTS FOR THE CROWDS. I LOVE THE SMELL OF RUBBER IN THE EVENING!FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE UNINITIATED THE URN CONTAINS THE ASHES OF "WILD" WILLIE BORSCH, IF NOT THE CRAZIEST FUEL ALTERED DRIVER, HE WAS IN THE TEAM PHOTO. ONE OF THESE DAYS I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIND A VIDEO OF HIM DRIVING THE "WINGED EXPRESS" ONE HANDED AT WELL OVER 200 MILES PER HOUR. HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS CARRY THE URN ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO EVENTS LIKE THESE AND THEY HAVE A DRIVER MAKE A COUPLE OF PASSES WITH HIS CAR. ALL IN ALL PRETTY COOL.
WELL I GUESS THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, TALK TO YOU SOON,
TVI
