No I've never actually met you formally,but one night you pulled into Kokomo which had rained out,when you were going from Colorado to Connecticut. I was there with Bob and Monica Clauson,Pat and Jim and their 3 dogs,and 2 guys that happened by in a camper,one of them from Australia and the other from New Zealand.
We were making the best of the rainout swapping stories etc etc.

Think we ordered pizza 3 times that night ! Pretty fun night for a rainout, and we helped our new international friends with more races to go to which they didnt know about.

Yea, Lebanon Valley is a very good facility, but the racing has been boring every time I went, for Allstars. Local Modified fans told me it the same with Mods. They did indeed pack in the crowds, I like the way they sell concessions, & those Upstate Noo Yawkas really like to gamble...last time I went 50/50 was over $7,000, more than 1st place winner got!
I don't know about any other New Englanders moving to Hoosier Land, but you probably knew the late great Don Sherrill, who moved there from Missouri...
