Wade, You are correct. If people see the cars in town it helps. The "old Days" of open trailers was really fun. Washing the car at a gas station, eating at the Jerrys and parking in the lot brought many to see the cars....

Wade I have to agree with both of you, it would go a long way, I remember Maple Grove Raceway some years back asking some of their local Bracket Racers to show their Race cars at malls around town to generate a feel of festivity and interest. I still love watching cars on trailers and unfortunately the box is now a garage on wheel which can be quite practical. Thank you Ken and Nitro for the reporting. CR

James, where are you, don't tell me you went to Disney World.

Tried to get some pictures of people working on their race cars, not many people out. I did talk to John DiBartolomeo, he is always working. Here is a shot of a header he just finished that needed some welding done. The Last picture is something I am sure many of us experienced at least once. No damage to the trailer, just tire marks.
