It was a great weekend. The first time I can ever remember 3 non weather threatening perfect Summer days. Because of that, I also can't remember seeing the parking lot, Show field and Pits so full!

Thanks for all who attended the bbq and thanks especially for all those who dropped by with food and drink donations. Because of that, this year we literally had enough of everything until the last person was served.

2015 was the year of No lines and no waiting either! Amy, Kelly and Emily literally cooked their buns off. And as soon as rib sandwiches, pepper/onion sweet sausage, burgers and hot dogs started disappearing, they got replaced. All but about 4 oz's of the 25 lb of bbq pulled pork we brought was gone when it was all over. A monster crock pot of meatballs went quick and my lips are still numb from what I assumed was the annual Hammer time Racing Chili. I can't be the only one because that giant crock pot was empty when we cleaned up too!

But wait, there's more! Rustie the potato salad making machine somehow, right at the track, made 3 giant trays available. In her spare time between racing, about 50 deviled hard boiled eggs appeared. Pasta Salads, chips, beer, water all magically appeared from various attendees as well.

The now old standby Anti-freeze 'killed' (get it) Redrum this year. If you missed either, you didn't look close enough that the Cold Case trailer counter had been turned into a temporary bar.

I'll venture a guess that we had a slightly smaller crowd this year(lots of people thought there was no bbq because there was no PY) but we steadily served for a good 2 hours. Also, when was the last time you saw the Ames crew at the bbq. Who would have even thought about that happening.

We liked the new location there in the midway. I already started my grocery list for next year and have a couple of ideas that will REALLY add to what has already become a long standing tradition. Stay tuned!

Our Pontiac hobby is alive and well and it's all simply because of everyone's participation. Keep spreading the word.

Warning to all, don't be to late! (lol...)

The wife and I did not get over to the BBQ until after 7pm, and we were lucky enough to get a couple pork sandwhiches and some potato salad. Only a few die hards remained so we left a couple trays of cookies for them to enjoy. I assume that they did not go to waste. ;-)

Sorry I missed meeting everyone, but it gives me another reason to look forward to next years event.

Thank you again to Chris and all the folks that put on the BBQ!
