Well that means i know what i was doing 10 years and one day ago today. not often i can say that.
I remember walking into the marquee with Lynette and my folks and all we knew was to ask for Phil Reed.
As soon as i said his name his ears pricked up and i couldnt have net a nicer person. apart from Candy of course.
Met Ray (Fathead Racing) when he was washing his car, Lynette spotted the street lethal 60 across the way so we had to head there.
Bought a bunch of parts from Ronnie, Clyde, Steve G. Got to sit and chat with Hayden Proffit. ate curly fries with Butch and Ginny. I got to drive Lonnies Halls 62 on the return road. Lynette went for a ride in Last 60 with Lonnie. My Parents went for a ride in Dan's mint 61 belair.
Got to listen to gibberish from Bob Walla while drinking some sort of clear fluid from a jar around Rays race car trailer. Wasnt really gibberish as Bob couldnt talk.
. Met mister Dave Coots there and his 64 impala. met Bill Nuttall and Miss Bella. so many memories. Can still remember in perkins resturant my Dad and Grub haveing a standard discussion about Aussie and Kiwi relations (taking the piss out of each other) and looking around at everyone listening thinking it was going to come to blows
.
I will treasure these memories, sadly many of those we met are not here with us anymore.
I made friends that day that i dont think i will ever see again but still count them as my friends
Thank you Phill for the oppertunity to change my life for the better
Steve
