Dino, Et Al,
The ODF response was unbelievable. Hats off to Dino and all the people involved in this party. I could not have guessed that the Dover crowd would be so large. We still have the freindliest dragracers on the planet. My uncle (Bud) was in his glory. He also thought the crowd was excellent. WE both look forward to the next meet. Hopefully it will be warmer and I will have my chassis set up better for Island Dragway.
Thaks again,

hvy70ssAll,
I’d also like to add to anyone if I was a little “short on time” I apologize. Kind of felt like from 715 am to trophy handouts was a drum solo!!!
Thank God for my mountain bike. This turned out beyond Dino and my expectations. A big THANK YOU to all who raced or spectated. Thanks to Island for all the help and hospitality. Finally, to my volunteers, THANKS for all the help. It would not have run as smooth as it did without you. Trust me…wait till next year, we have just begun.
