He's our car sitting next
to a beautiful Mercedes Gull-wing.
Quite the contrast in vehicles.

Well, we had our official race car debut
at the Motorsports Expo at the Calvary Baptist Church on Saturday the
7th. Yes, it did sound like an odd location for such an event but I
think it turned out to be a huge hit. There were several types of cars
on display, generally something from each type of racing. There was a
slot track, several racing video games, Billy Pauch was there with his
racing simulator, a pit stop challenge and more. Photographer Ray
Masser had a table set up with his collection of Hatfield Speedway
photos (pretty cool stuff) plus Penn Valley hobby had loads of race car
models for sale at discounted prices. Plus, Costco was handing out
drinks, cake & cookies and Bones Grille was given out chicken wings
and Bar-B-Q chicken. Plus the was no addmission to enter all this and
it was right in our hometown. Couldn't beat that, quite the deal.
Plus they had loads of really good door prizes but the
only drawback there was you had to listen to Lake Speed for an hour
first. He seems like a really nice guy with some great stories but boy,
can he talk, and talk, and talk.... He's also pretty religious and he
was getting pretty hard into it at the end there. But for all the free
stuff (addmission, food, games, door prizes) I guess it was a fair
price to pay.
It was quite an enjoyable evening. Great for the locals
since there are so many race fans and racers in our area. It's great to
be able to display your car like that before the racing season gets
started. I hope they decide to do it again!!!
