Correction: Neither PJ nor Follmer were involved in this. The cars
were the #18 of Ken Epsman (driven by Jimmy Hague) and the #14 of
Richard Freshman. Jimmy is out for 13 months, of course. I assume the
same of Freshman.
The incident was apparently quite dramatic from the stands (I was 1/2 a lap
back at the time ;-)) When the Boss's collided, they both spun in
opposite directions, with Ken Epsman then driving *between* the two
cars. Ken did want us to put on a good show, but I think this was
more than he asked for...;-)
I was happy with my first vintage outing (2nd if we count Pre Historics)
I finished the race and was not *last*.....
