I went from 94-97 while in high-school. I had a blast each year because it was my 1st time seeing Bloomquist, Moyer, Boggs, Swartz, Duvall, etc. My local track used to have a STARS race each year so I had seen all of their drivers, but Pennsboro is where I got to see all of the HavATampa guys plus all of the regional drivers from across the country. I saw Eckert, Stuhler, Franklin, Bare, and others pretty much every week at Potomac and Hagerstown. We considered them locals to us so it was always cool seeing them run with the best in the country. It's been a few years obviously but I remember the heats and Bmains having the best racing. Feature always seemed to be follow the leader and pray that you don't break. Was definitely a weekend long party, last time I went I sat in the back of my uncles truck outside turn 1 and got trashed with some guys from Cochran/Lynn Geisler's team. There's a much longer story to go with that but I'm not about to write a book here. There always seemed to be "strippers" around and the smell of burnt porto potties. Some of the things I witnessed there in the past would probably be lawsuits today and snowflakes would shut it down again.

Seeing some of these replies I laugh at some of the things we used to do after, and sometimes during, the racing action. Pennsboro was a place that everyone came to. Sure it's going to be interesting were there going to pit these stackers that are getting bigger it seems every year. I don't know how this car we currently have is going to perform on the surface but just to get back there will be special enough. I'll walk the pits and there probably won't be any familiar faces, and I'll be the old man now in my 70's looking around to see how many more old timers will be there to watch.
