Picked up the rental, which was empty So next stop was the gas station. Pulled in and met a friend i hadn't seen in about 10 years. This was great! We chatted and he asked what i was up to and i told him i was going to Ohio today. We talked about what the racing was going to consist of, in the mean time a truck with lawn care mowers had pulled up behind my vehicle. Once my friend and i had finished conversing the young man in the truck said " Ohio, what part?" "My Mom and Dad live in Ohio" I said "Ashtabula" his jaw dropped and said "that where they live but they are heading this way today for the 600 race in Charlotte." This young man had lived there until moving to the Salisbury, N.C. area. Strange how these things happen. I have never even heard of Ashtabula prior to this event. Just thought this was a bit strange and thought i would share this. See you guys and girls Friday in the A.M.
Everyone have a safe trip to the track and then let the fun begin
