I am putting the final touches on mine.I am soooo ready for this.I am looking forward to metting everyone and seeing all of the rare cars some that have not been seen in decades.See you guys next week.
Jon, can’t wait to see what Jason and Clarence have done with the Banjo Prototype! Like you, I want to see all the cars that have been hidden away or under restoration for years. I have no idea how many Talladegas and Spoilers are still left out there but I bet we have the largest gathering of them ever. The cars are great but it is all the terrific people that worked on these cars, owned them, raced them and loved them that are the real focus of this first ever Reunion! I talked with Rick Stanton in California and he is even bring out his outstanding Benny Parsons tribute race car with the BOSS 429! See you next week Jon!
