A great time spent with fellow 3Widers. Many thanks to Ed for getting the ball rolling a few months ago; to Kevin and Ed for the burgers and sausage sandwiches; to Rich for the best shoofly pie I've ever eaten; to all others who added to the food offerings. Conversation and discussion covered a range of racing topics, stories from the past several decades. I really enjoyed listening to Anthony's description of racing through the dogleg at Trenton. A personal thrill was hearing the big block modifieds on a big track for the first time in decades. Closed my eyes and I was back at Nazareth! Appreciated the modifieds that were painted/wrapped in tribute to Bobby Malzahn 99, Tighe Scott 28, Bill Willson 7, Gary Balough 73, and in particular the Jimmy Horton driven 71e tribute to Carl Van Horn. I believe that Carl gave Jimmy his first modified ride in the 71e during a four 25s night at Nazareth. Thanks to all the folks who displayed vintage race cars. 

And this special gathering would not have been possible without the creation and ongoing operation of the 3Wides site by Joe Macfarlan. Thanks Joe, you deserve our appreciation and support.

ED, where and when should the next gathering be held? Would love for it to be at Harmony but . . . . those days are long gone.
