R.I.P. Mr. Hopton
I recall a few years back when he was running LPS and they had the ISW opener. The Hoptons threw a pre-race cookout, had door prizes, a dunking tank (with Norm Shields, Terry Pletch, and especially Jamie Marvel) and some other niceties for the early arrivers. Bill could not have been nicer or more intent on assuring that everyone had a great time. I found that to be pretty much the case in their THAT regime as well.
