Lest anyone think this event is only a race, I should point out there was a show and swap meet as well. And the Friday night presentations were great: Tim Dye told the fascinating story of the origins of his Pontiac/Oakland Museum in Pontiac, Illinois and Arnie Beswick shared stories about racing and racers from the past. Arnie made exhibition passes today at the track as well.
