Section "A", as is obvious from Rick's Pic, was sparsely populated last night. Some regulars went to THAT, some to LPS, and some just don't care to be seen with us anymore.
Chuck joined us for awhile, but gave up early. smith19 was in the house but he always goes to the top of "A" so that his youngster won't be corrupted.
BTW, the fellow seated just behind the perv.....err, I mean the "A" team is Jim Dinsmoor. Some of the older IOWers may remember his Grandad, Duke Dinsmoor (spelled Dinsmore back when he raced in almost anything including Indy cars). Jim competed in midgets several years back.
As to my reasons for roosting on the end of the aisle, both racefan20 (headstart home) and SprintManDave (closer to Cherie) are right. Plus, in case of a raid, I can make a hasty departure, given my advanced age and all. When this pic was snapped I was visiting with MudPacker (Mike) and MudAvoider (Kelly).
It was great to meet Rick. Hope to have more time to talk with him at some future race. Like me, he is a "veteran" (sounds better than "old") race observer.
All in all, it was a most enjoyable night.
