Seems if we were one week later with our event…It might not have happened 😯 The Dover Guys ‘upstairs’ must have put in the fix with the “Big Guy”. They’re comparing it to some 1944 storm that did major damage. You guys up there Batten down the hatches, lower the mainsail and get out your foul weather gear. Whole coast from Jersey up to Cape Cod will be effected. Hey- “Oddjob” Tony Mone lives in the Outer Banks ! …Stow the El Camino Tony! .

Hey Tony,
Great meeting you….your El Camino, Casey’s ’69 Camaro, Iorizzo’s ’68 Camaro and Terenzios “Italian Way” altered are “welded” in my brain as Dover favorites. How ’bout this…at the time I had an Aurora H.O. slot car track. Instead of a road course I had a dragstrip set up in my basement. Favorite cars…yellow ’41 Willys and a Aqua (Teal) ’68 El Camino. The El Camino had big slicks out back too. Yes the El Camino was “just like” the one this 12 year old saw at Dover racing back then. Talk about childhood heros!! Be safe with the storm coming up.

They’re reporting a LOT of power outages all up the coast including New Jersey now…I expect many of the ‘group’ may be offline soon, and into Sunday…unless you have a battery laptop. Looks like ‘eye’ is going to go right over Danbury 😯
