We left early in the morning, for the 2 hour drive from Hershey, to the Williamsport, PA area. We had arranged to meet Bob & Shirl, who would guide us to Dave & Elaine's house. We arrived at Dave & Elaines house that sits on 90+ acres of beautiful property, and had a nice visit. When we first started on the drag race circuit in 2002, Patty worked with Dave, and I worked with Elaine at the first race of the year in Pomona. We have always been grateful for their patience and understanding, in introducing us to a lifestyle that we thoroughly enjoyed for 2 years. It's been a rough year, with Dave's diagnosis of cancer, and all of the subsequent treatments. They both looked great, and have a positive attitude for the future. From there, we drove about an hour to Bob & Shirl's house that also is beautiful acreage near Trout Run, PA. They fixed a nice dinner for us, and it was so great to sit down and visit without the hustle & interruptions at the race track. When we began the 02 race season, Bob & Shirl were managing the Nitro Mall, and when they got their beagle puppy Hunter, in 2003, Sami's motherly instinct took over, and it was really fun to watch the two of them together. Bob & Shirl are in their 2nd year with Lucas Oil, and it seems to be a great partnering for both parties. There were a lot of people who made us feel like part of the family, when we were pulling the Harley-Davidson merchandise trailer with our motor home, but Bob & Shirl were right at the top of the list, and we will always be thankful for their friendship.
