So here is my list: Fishburger, Andrew Quinn, Fishnman, Tim Watson, BigBudMan, Jerry Shaw, Robert Gatton, Danny Burton, Charles Nungester, Rich H., Rick's Pics, Bob Clauson, itsanonwingthing, Zman and Smith19.
Add people I was introduced to for the first time that evening: Dick Monahan and Jimmy Diesel. I'm very pleased to have met them and hope to see them again very soon. 
Add to this people I met that don't do the racing internet so much, like Ed Kempf and Jerry's significant other.
Add to this people who were there but just didn't see or didn't get to say hi to like Aero. I've seen Dave and Kim but they were pretty busy at the time.
I missed a few people I'm sure. That happens constantly with someone who came into this world with a lousy memory to start with, only to get worse over the years.
That's a lot of people I've met thanks to this website. It's really great to share observations, memories, lies ... with so many people. It makes being a racing fan that much more enjoyable. I don't think most of these acquaintances could have been possible without IOW. Thank you so much, Bill. |
Well said Gregg...and if I may, I would add just a few more we/I visited with on that night:
J.J. Hughes plus his mom and dad, Michael Fischesser, Chad Boespflug, Sean Johnson and his dad, Jackie Litchfield Apted, Barry Ryan, Big Steve, Andrew Elson and his dad, Brent Furay, Chuck Goyette, Ed Cook, Duane, Jim Rudisell (Dave's dad who also answers to "Rudy") and more.
As you said, "that's a lot of people" we've enjoyed talking with. Maybe one of these nights we'll go up in the stands and watch the racing.
I echo your thoughts about IOW and extend my THANKS and praise to bossman Bill Gardner.
And now......QUIT RAINING!!
