As you know, Jerry binner and I are working hard to plan the 2nd. annual Modified Reunion to take place at New Smyrna Speedway on February 13th. Last years event was a total success and it was more than memorable. This is a way to say thank you to all who pioneered the sport we love...our guests are incredible and they are all excited to have been asked to attend.
NSS is also excited and the new Race Director, Joe Lewandoski with track owner Robert Hart have also shown excitement and assured us the track will do everything they can to help us be even more successful!!!!!
Jack Smith was awesome last year. we got stuck without equipment we needed and he just happened to have a trunk full of goodies. ;-) This year Jack and REAL RACIN USA have told us they will provide a P.A. system, do a live broadcast and help us promote the event! When it comes to huge events like this you are lucky to have Jack aboard!
Many others have helped with different things. Scott Lombard of SUNSHINE RACING MAGAZINE offered us 4 ways so we can communicate without having to run all over the place. ;-) George and Rex helping with web sites etc.
We will be looking for some things and with all the thousands of people who read this board everyday maybe you can help us find them..(tents etc.)
If you know someone who was a racer, track owner, flagman, ...anyone from the past who should be invited, please email me or jerry or both...
I would like to see more vintage cars... you should have seen them on the track last year!!! it was such an emotional experience seeing those guys, most in their 70's, racing the old cars. The parade lap was led by Bobby Pendergast in his old coupe!! People brought photos and lots of memorabelia!
I hope you will all mark this date on your calendars and save up to come to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH! ;-)
