There were times tonight I thought I was at Lincoln Park or Tri State watching Robert ride the cushion. There were slide jobs that I never before noticed at a SC race. It is a hard one to describe if you were not there. Also, I got to sit by 89 year old Paul Collins from Perryville MO. This was his 51st race at DQ. He is a veteran of the Battle of the Bulge. WWII. The big war. He said 900 WWII vets die every day. And he has arranged for his ashes to be spread on the Magic Mile when he passes on. It was really touching to see him put his hand on his heart for the National Anthem and raise his hand in recognition of the veterans. What an incredible night. The car count was irrelevant. And Bob Jenkins calling the race. Wow. What a night.
