Re: "Akron" Arlen Vanke
This is why I do not miss the East Coast Drag Time Hall of Fame Reunion each year. Every year there are some of us who have passed away or are in such poor health they are unable to attend. We get a chance for one more year to get together, with our families and friends to talk about how it was in "the old days" and in some cases talk about up and coming racers and what the future might be or not be. The families of the ones who have passed away come back because they know what drag racing meant to us and our families.
Good luck Vanke and and Grumpy you guys hang tough and God Bless you. |
