I wish you could have seen the extended family members who interrupted their
family reunion in Salt Lake City to come out and run  a Corvette in the 130
Club last year at World of Speed.  After a couple of family members
qualified on Saturday another five came out to drive on Sunday.  Smiles all
around as they all eventually qualified.

The High School Drags at Rocky Mountain Raceway (located between downtown
and the Great Salt Lake) are some of the best attended events every year in
numbers of participants and spectators.  I think they run them on Friday
nights several times during the spring and summer.  Quite a switch from the
early 1950's when the highway patrol interrupted traffic on a road between
Lehi and Cedar Fort to allow racers to challenge their friends ... and
enemies for bragging rights.  I have some photos I took that day ... it was
Mother's Day and I don't think my mother has forgiven me yet for going out
there.
