Boy did I make a mistake last Saturday night (4/16).  Was going to go to Bridgeport but went to New Egypt instead because NES is half the distance from home and I was getting up early Easter morning.  So it looks like I missed out on Billy's last win and, in the process, ate about 5 lbs. of dust at NES!  Of the racers I've seen on a frequent basis in my life, I would rank them Billy The Kid, Frankie S. and Wiley Will as my top 3 talents.  No disrespect to Brett The Corporate Jet as I didn't get to see him that much.  My favorite story about Billywas  after he had established himself as a frequent winner, Billy would give the winner's trophy to a young fan but always kept the check!  Billy became th guy who filled the void of someone for me to root for after Pee Wee Griffin decided to go into "product distribution" rather than make a living racing hot rods!  Billy did it the right way, and for a hell of a long time!  Always asking my Mom "who won?"when she got home home from Windsor or Flemington.  Her answer, more time than not, 'PAUCHY"!  Scott Ely
