It's impossible to fully express our thanks to the team of volunteers who hung in there in spite of the weather. I'd list all the great folks who helped but I know I'd miss someone, so let me just issue a general "THANKS to ALL"! We had a HUGE oil down and we got lots of folks to chip in on the oil dry shuffle - racers, crew members, spectators, and the volunteer staff. A reminder - when the rod leaves the block, SAFELY pull to the right as soon as possible! (In fairness, I think it took the driver a while to figure out what had happened). Folks also chipped in to sweep water off the track on several occasions.
A nice Jimmy Shine story. He was there to drive the Jessel roadster, and got a 200 MPH club hat. AND he was right there with everybody else, sweeping the track and shuffling the oil dry. A real regular guy.
It would be helpful if volunteers would shoot me an Email before the meet and tell me if you're coming. That way I can build a schedule and have a better idea of who is staffing which post.
Again, thanks to all and we'll see you next meet!
