Hey, Jeff! Looks like you and Dad had a great weekend @ LRP. Please be sure to tell him I said hello.
Thanks for all those great photos. I see the ol' bare metal #123 "home brew" sports racer is still goin'... that's cool!
I also noticed Donovan Motorsports brought all their unbelievably prepared Jags to kick everyone's butt, as usual. Those cars are amazing!
I had my brother and a friend ride up with me to Lebanon Valley Dragway that weekend. Lots of FUN and cool cars @ the Hemmings Musclepalooza XXVIII, both on the show field and on the track. I even took a few pictures with my new smart phone, unfortunately it's still smarter than me (!) and I haven't got down the method of transferring photos from the phone to the internet! Hopefully some time in the future I'll join into the current century...
For a few years running we used to do the "triple" - LRP on Saturday, Lebanon Valley on Sunday, then LRP on Monday. We had these little Mom & Pop motels we'd stay at for Saturday and Sunday night, about 40 minutes from either track. Monday evening we'd leave LRP and head back to Long Island, which could take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours depending upon the holiday traffic... but it was worth it!
Looks like we both had very cool motorhead weekends! See you in a month @ the Classic Plastic model car show in Lawrence, MA.
I'll be in my usual vendor location. Safe travels, and thanks again for the look from LRP.-- Ernie :>)
