I won’t forget meeting Tony Goertz and wife and realizing there as funny as they are smart.. 😁😁
For those that think that a 70+ yr old can’t drive one you need to follow Rich Ware through the dragon.. Although I could read the yr sticker on his license plate he shamed me in some corners.. 😁😁

I’m also going to help finance the Amanda Clark School of Driving.. (if you were there you know)

Also I noticed there are at least 63 prowlers that DONT NEED the injectors cleaned..The dragon took care of that..

And last (for now ) the OG guys and gals really made an effort to bring the new kids into the fold .. We had some issues with which direction we were to go but with 63 cars I expected that.. But the new friends that wife and I have now along with the old ones cannot be expressed how much fun we have..

On the way home the latch on the Candy trailer broke. Kees was following me in the Purple and I saw it fairly quickly. I had taken a rope with me so we rigged it up and made it home. I think I have it fixed now but I need to look for my Larry Lord brace that I have had for about 20 years and install it. Luckily I didn't lose my new frilly underwear, (thanks Margot) No pictures CURRENTLY available (or in the future). You had to be there, you snooze, you lose

This was another fantastic event. For us, Prowler events are about the friendships old and new and not about the cars. The weather was absolutely perfect. We drove the Dragon three times. Driving wise it doesn’t get much better than that. The best times though are hanging out in the parking lot just enjoying each other’s company.

It was nice meeting you Jim. I met a bunch of new people and connected with some old friends and caught up on what is happening in their lives. It's a shame we are scattered all over the country. I haven't driven the Interstate Highways for about three years. It was crazy going to Gatlinburg and a five foot long 6 X 6 in my lane on I-75 in the middle of a curve. My wife said, is there any way we could go home and not get back on the Interstate? We took the back roads home and saw some nice country and more sensible drivers to boot.
Took an extra three hours longer but still made it home in one long day.

Driving home, I had to lock up the wheels as a van pulled right out in front of me while I was cruising at 72 MPH, With the trailer on back, frightened me and seriously locked 'em up. Then, a pair of gawkers drove by taking pictures and as the driver looked over, almost side swiped me. I had to swerve to the right to avoid them taking the side of the car out. Needless to say, had to pull off to get my nerves calmed down. We are safe at home but those were very scary.

Wonderful time, incredible weather and truly enjoyed meeting new people and catching up with others. Sad that some people I did not speak with as long as I really wanted to. Two weeks would have been fun!
