Tom, I wish I could have taken it all home with me. Nothing was for sale, but you could look all you want for a buck. Quite an impressive photo collection and a great group of PIDHoF inductees this year who's speeches were unforgettable. I wish I had a video camera with me to capture some of the stories of the "good 'ol days." Probably the most memorable was when one inductee was asked when he first met another fellow Hall of Famer, he explained it was "very shortly after my clutch/pressure plate/flywheel landed on his hood." According to his story he was running an illegal lightweight flywheel and he didn't have a proper scattershield. Naturally it all came unglued as he tried to launch the car off the starting line, and the whole works came out from underneath the car, over the guardrail and into the parking lot situated below the starting line. The driver luckily avoided injury, but the majority of the scattered parts landed on the hood of a new 390 Ford owned by the fellow racer. They've been friends and competitors ever since, and that was nearly 40 years ago. Good things happen when old racers get together.
