The 25th was definately special. Mad Max holding off Wolfie and then driving the bus "home", the computer car that required the string of lights on the FS to be raised at the last minute, Jeff Gordon running, Brad Doty redefineing alphabet soup (Hey Brad, you gave a beer to a minor that night....but then again the beerstand served me all night too) Wolfgang dominating Saturday night and then pulling the trailer out on the promenade and showing everyone the trophy around 3 am, Mark Kinser and Gordon Wooley's frontstretch fits, the red flag for the camper fire, Jack Miller calling all the action with Holy Cow and "It's Race time in the Valley!!"
Great trip down memory lane for the Nationals that hooked me on the sport. Thanks

I don't suppose you have an extra copy of that Open Wheel. The #12 pictured in there is my grandfather's car. I'm not sure that he has a copy.

Sorry slyguy, I have almost every issue of Open Wheel (except number 1) but I don't have two of any.
Great souvenir, Dennis, is it a G.C. Lord drawing?
