Danny,

Thank you for the kind words and I appreciate you being there. It was an amazing day. We had 'em' from the age of your grandson to 80.

We had the original owners of Coastal Plains,Kinston,Holly Ridge, & Newport. It was a neat deal listening to them speak of the good ole days.

I am going to name as many racers as possible out of respect and hope I don't miss too many.

Shade Aldridge (ex-racer & owner of Kinston)
Ronnie Barnette
Namon Batts
Paul Bell
Doc Bilbrey
Bobby Brown
Garley & Randy Daniels
Troy Dennis

We had crewmen,family members,track officials and workers. And don't forget the IHRA tech official!

We even had people stop in off the street wanting to buy some of the hot rods we had parked our front.

It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of it. We are planning on have one every year from now on.

I want to personally thank everyone who went and was a part of a truly great experience.

Doyle

Don't know if everyone on this list does not know about the East Coast Drag Times Reunion held each year in Henderson,NC. I missed this due to other commitment; however, I would like to invite each one to the reunion this year. I will promise you will have alot of fun and see alot of racers you haven't seen in a long time. Go to eastcoastdragtimeshalloffame.com for more information.
