    Classic!

    My dad has been a chief steward and pace car driver for most of my life. I pretty much lived there growing up.

    This (and the Blazer arena) is our happy place.

    Ha, that wasn't supposed to come out like that.

    I'm reflecting back a little more today. He has been in and out of the hospital for the last couple of days.

    Too much of this going on around here lately.

    No, seriously, I'm impressed.

    Sorry to hear about your dad and his health. He out? Doing better?

    That's awesome. My dad was involved in racing much of his early life and then again after my mom passed away. I use to spend many days and nights out at the Portland Speedway as well as Jantzen Beach when they had the Quarter mile track there. Also, when the Indy Cars (Cart at the time) and PPG was the major sponsor and we were a large distributor for PPG chemicals and would always get race packages that included pit passes as well as hospitality passes that allowed us to go into the lunch tent and eat with the drivers and crews. Great experience.

    Man, what horrible marketing for this event. Seriously I had no clue it even took place over the weekend until I read this thread today.

    They did not have a sponsor, so that may have been the reason for little advertising.
