147 entries , 48 show karts, approx. 200 karts on the premises. 40 of the entries were yamaha. Folks came from California to Maryland and abroad. A few showers Thursday delayed the track from opening until noon but we extended practice til 6pm . Rest of the days were dry and hot with a breeze. A welcome party was held Thursday nite food and beverages provided by the Dismores and myself. One heat was run Friday followed by a kart show and an awards banquet at night. Hall of fame inductees were Kyle Adkins, Sonny Gerber and Bud Bennett. Special recognitions were given to Steve Welte , Don Renton and Vico (the 12 year old who built his own kart).
Drivers and crew members lined the pit straight and were able to meet and shake everyones hand. Pippa Mann a young lady who drives Indy cars was there participating and Tony Stewart stopped in to check out the scene.
Many new faces were there and many old faces were not due the health and family issues. Prayers go out to those in need of healing.
Thanks to all who came and supported the event, without you there would be no vintage events . Thanks to the Dismores and the crew that operate their great facility. Thanks to the VKA for all they do for our sport. More info will be in the VKA newsletter.
God Bless America
