Yeah, this was a big deal race back in the day. My beloved yellow car raced t=
here several times back in the early days.... driven at the time by the grea=
t David Dooley.
I=E2=80=99d love to bring the car =E2=80=9Cback home again=E2=80=9D to the e=
vent.
This has been on my bucket list for some time now.
Thanks for the reminder.
