I remember that one well. Great event thanks to all that made it happen. I also remember getting a speeding ticket trying to catch Jack.

Spent a lot of time going to races to get Racers on board Sue Harsh was a great help  Tom Mahoney and COCTRA came own board and helped with the car show . TRF and Moss were great promoters  Estimates of 5k folks with TR history in the crowwd . Greatest event in history MHO!

I think TRF helped sponsor the event.  I towed my car over with my race van and brought my Harley along in the back of the van.  Once I dropped the race car off at the TRF tent, I parked my van & trailer and spent the rest of the weekend riding around on my Harley.  Great fun.  Great memories.
