from a camper's perspective - we witnessed a few incidents involving

of similar age to himself who would ride around on a red golf cart and talk
to anybody, usually trying to ask for suggestions on how to
improve the event - Louie I believe was his name. Wish HE would have had
more pull - genuinely a great guy.
Bill Singleterry also always treated us well.

Yes Perry. I'm fully aware what he refers to himself as, but at Pat noted above ^ ^^ other folks have different names for him. I'm just using one of the them that won't get my post deleted.

As John would say, (WWJS?) Bottom line: He's gone, that era is done, it's time to move on and turn the Brainerd track into one of the premiere motor sports facilities located in one of the prettiest areas of the country. And from what I've read and heard, it sounds like that exactly what the new owners intend to do!

Kinda had a feeling that's what was meant, as you say, I didn't want to make a comment that might get thread deleted. We have our own "thoughts" about the cro............., OH I mean Colonel here.......Perry Jr.

Oh, anyway, congratulations to the new owners and drag racing fans and hopes that Brainard becomes what all there hope for and we here in the Detroit and Flint area wish we had.........................Perry Jr.

Also, not trying to slight Milan in any way, but it's still not an NHRA National event.................Perry Jr.
