OK, I guess I’ll start with some of my camera/phone pictures…First I’d like to thank Smokey
and Grover for all their devoted years in keeping Dover alive ❗ ” GREAT JOB GUYS” ❗ 😛
Congrats to my friend Don Kauer on his “Hall of Fame” award ❗ I’m sorry I left before the
award ceremony. Well deserved Brother ❗ I know the “Speed Man” had a smile on his face ❗
Also THANKS to Big Al (and crew) for all he/they do for us Dover guys and for continuing the
Dover reunions…Jim Grove, my prayers are with you. Get well ❗ We need you ❗ In these
pictures you’ll see great cars and great people ❗

Here’s some more. Oh yeah, Cakes, sorry I didn’t get a chance to talk with you. Every time
I looked over, you were in conversation with someone ❗ 😆 That’s what it’s all about ❗
I got a chance to say HI to Brian while he was on the run.. 😆 “A GREAT DAY” ❗

Here’s a few more…
John Shimer (ROXREC), had both of his race cars there ❗ His faithful Biscayne, which has
been driven by the “Who’s Who” of Dover and the SP VII which looks so wild on the street ❗ “How Cool is that” ❗ Both cars are able to be driven on the street and that’s how they got to the Reunion ❗ 😆 😆 😆

I think I can THANK all who provided the coverage, and great pictures, of the 22nd reunion, for those of us who couldn’t attend. 😉 😀
I talked to Kauer, and Shimer several times during, and after the event, and from what I heard, it was one of the best. Congrats Don.
Thanks again for the coverage. 😎
