Uncle Buck

I don't think I ever met a crew that entered the gate, as ready/prepared to have fun as they were. And had fun they did, and shared that fun with everyone around. UB amazed me with his preparation for the weekend. I would like to share one memory. At an event, I was parked close to them and was invited over later on. During the day we were talking in their pit area, and buck was showing me what he had brought to cook. A few turkey's and there was a large commercial cooking pot (probably 5 gallons or more). I said are you going to deep fry the turkey. He said "look inside", I lifted the top and it was completely full with shrimp on ice with spices/vinegar sprinkled in and ready for some heat. He said, "you just put it on the burner" I always tell that UB story when folks talk about eating at the races. Can't imagine what George is feeling, but I am thinking of you both
