Many remain friends to this day so a trip to a far away track really isn't "alone" anymore.
My wife, not a race fan, sometimes asks why I go to a race alone. I tell her that I'll know people there. That's usually true but if not I
just meet new people with the same addiction.
I met my long time buddy and travel partner Pete on the CB radio[remember them?] in 1973 lost, trying to find Eldora. Now I can't get him to shut up! LOL. Besides, he continues to enlighten me with his lefty ********. See you all April 5th.
:hoffman:

And when Pete and I are both around, you're outnumbered. :D

Seriously, I could care less what my racing friends' ******** are and vice versa, I'm sure. We enjoy what we have in common, a love/addiction for this silly exercise of chasing races and admiring some very talented people.
