Thank you Alan.

I got chills and maybe even a lump in my throat when you made your speech on Sunday afternoon. You summed it up perfectly, the racing, people, the friends and the memories are what made Firebird/Wild Horse the place it was/is. Thank you Alan for the speech and for everything you have done.

I'm just impressed he managed to stand up there on the wall for that long. Especially considering his track record in that department isn't the best... coughcoughSonomadriverintros

That is a nice post. And look at that crowd! Is there any way to hear Alan's speech??

It was on NHRA.tv if you've got that. Between the semis and finals

Alan is one of the best things about our sport!!!!

it was extremely well spoken by Alan and it brought a tear to my eye despite this being my first trip to WHP. I can imagine how I’d feel if the Koretsky’s hadn’t bought my home track of Maple Grove and we were facing its closure.

He stopped and posed for a picture with me in Friday.

I didn't realize that you are 6'6" Gary. I know Alan is 7'8"... If Cliff had gotten his hat autographed, I would definitely have been able to do that trade he talked about. I have some really cool stuff he would take care of.

I'm Happy you had a great time.

Actually, Gary is taller than me. I'm 4' 20" tall.
