GREAT night at The 'Burg in spite of the rain delay. The racing.......yeah, that too, but even better was getting to see some old friends I hadn't seen for too long. Bob Gatten, is up from Florida to watch grandson Chad Boespflug in his new ride. Longtime friends Tyler Hewitt and his dad Jeff Alderson (still having motor gremlins in the #97) were back for a '13 first. Ed Cook shows up after missing since the USAC opener. Best of all was seeing Rick Lane, again ambulatory and back shooting, and especially, how GREAT was it see to Jason Soudrette roaming the pit area with wife and youngun'? Inspirational, to say the least. Exchanged overdue "howdies" with Ralphie "The Racer" Liguori, one of the most exciting drivers from back in the day. Joe Liguori, BTW, is looking smoother every time I get to see him run, which is infrequent. Joined in Section "A" ("8" ?) by Ed, Gregg, Danny Burton with daughter and grandsons, my boy Doug, and Z-Man for awhile......yeah, a real good night.
