Danny Jr and I will be there /Is any wifes or family coming ?

Doyle Evans · 02-12-2009, 02:06 PM

Yes Danny; wives, family, girlfriends all are invited. I don't recommend bringing both wife and girl friend - j/k. Course I remember one of our friends who has passed away; he used to bring 2 girl friends - one on each side!
We have kids and grandkids coming, It's definitely going to be a family affair.

I apologize to some of the racers and families. Gainsville pts. race is that same weekend.
Also 2 of the fellows I mentioned are in drag heaven.

Danny, if you can help me spread the word up your way. The Warrens,Daniels, Troy Dennis, Yopps,Goodsons,McLawhorns,Humphreys,Hornes, are some who are planning on joining us.

We just want to get together while we're still "perking."

Thanks,

Doyle

Thanks Doyle , You probably count on me and jr and family . How much $ we need to bring ?

Doyle Evans · 02-12-2009, 07:14 PM

It's free.

Just bring your family, any pictures and stories you may want to share.

It looks like a lot of racers will be there.
I'm hoping Bob Rice can make it with all his pictures.

It would be nice if you could get Bobby Smith to come and bring some of Mr. Wayne Greenway's pictures with him. Can't wait for this event.

Doyle Evans · 02-17-2009, 02:24 PM

Hey guys,

First - I want to thank everyone for all the support.
It looks like a great turnout.

If any of you want to go and haven't notified me - please do so in order for us to have enough food.

Some of the racers are coming early to start the "smack talking."

Thanks and hope to see many of you there.

Doyle

We will have two tech officials from IHRA so if anybody wants to protest the fee will be LARGE. Robert Kinton and I are not cheap.. lol . /Really looking forward to this bench race event. Doyle , bring the practice tree.( that would be fun watching ) !

Doyle Evans · 02-19-2009, 08:22 PM

Danny,

Thanks for bringing Robert. We probably need a good tech man (to make sure all the stories jive)! He can always tell who he's caught. Uh - maybe not.

Also maybe Bobby can make it since the owners of Newport and Holly Ridge dragstrips (flagman days) will be there.

I talked To Harold Denton. He sounded great and is looking forward to being there..

A lot of guys are coming early in case any of you guys want to also,

Doyle
