Recap & Photos

Wow - what a great APBA Vintage Event at Buffalo again this year  - thank you Bill & Rich DeGlopper. Yup - The Obsession Boys had a great time with "Son of Obsession" (R/C Model) and ran some pretty hot laps - bench racing.

 

The Friday evening "Dry Rot Tent Party" was great fun - with plenty of pizza, beer, wine, vintage banter, laughter and good friends. Then a "Distinguished Service Award" was presented by Bill DeGlopper to Bill John, along with some very kind words - thank you Bill.

   

   

Then on Saturday morning, we had a very thorough Drivers Meeting, followed by a special tribute to "9/11", followed by lots of noise - Kevin Hart running a demo lap with his Dad's Grand Prix Hydro-Canadiana.

      

      

 

Then the vintage heats began - each class ran twice on Saturday.
