Wow, someone wrote on his guestbook about DE events. I wonder if any of these guys are pelicans?
We were just remembering some of the driving events we did together.
Watkins Glen when poor Alena was just starting to walk. Gravity was so relentless that weekend. The poor kid looked like she had been in a prize fight without the prize.
The three day event at Mid Ohio. Where Val, Mark and I stayed at the worst fleabag hotel in Ohio (maybe the US.) But we went back the next year because they gave us a hose and bucket to wash our cars.
Another Watkins where Val and Mark were sharing a car. They wore the rear tires down to the cord the first day and had to scramble to get another pair only to cord the fronts on the first run on the next day.
And of course all of the camaraderie at home afterwards banging out fenders and bolting new pieces on the cars so we could go do it again.
I will miss the big lug,
Frank Baker
