What made Loring Special. Oh, gee..I don't know...Let me see:
To ride down that track with my beloved husband that first day as tears came to his eyes at the 3/4 mile...he couldn't speak, the track was impeccable.
To see Phillip and Paula Campbell the moment we got on the property. What a welcome site...you guys are awsome..love you both.
The priviledge to speak with each and every racer that drove/rode down that course as they came through registration/tech/impound.
The local fella' who said to me..."Thanks for being here..You have just given me a reason to live. Please come back next year".
To have my friend Lauren O, once again by my side in registration and later in impound. I love you so much, Lauren. (We missed you Tonya).
To sit at dinner Sunday night with SGR, telling of each one's personal accomplishments of that day, of which I was one...Thank you Scott...
To see the faces of each and every racer, realizing their personal best...It was priceless...I am honored to have been part of that.
What a rush to ride Deb's 'Busa,... Todd and Deb, I love you both. I can never repay you for that.
To have Josh as my wing man on my maiden run around the pits on that 'Busa (nothing could be more special). Thanks Josh..I love you.
To have Kim at the gate, with her awsome smile and personality....Kim, you have become an Icon..you are a true comfort to folks when they see you at the gate....Thanks so much from the bottom of my heart for spending 2.5 days in the sun....you are truly awsome.
Perhaps one of the most special was having Joe's son, Matthew and his fiancee Erin spending the weekend with us. Very special...Very, very special to both Joe and I. Thanks Matt.
There's a ton more...Two weeks later...I'm still thinking about it.
As I read over my list of "what made Loring special", It looks and sounds to me like I've fallen in love all over again.......with Land Speed Racing.....I must say ,"Thank You" to my adoring Husband for intrducing me to all of this. I love you honey...
Thanks to everyone who gave of their time and talents to pull this off....... As Paula Campbell would say....I love you bunches.
