Syracuse Nationals was fantastic ! This year Jack and Mary Ann went as spectators ... no booth ... just there to enjoy the show. Of course the first place Jack goes is to the Swap Meet.... have to get there before all the good stuff is gone you know ! Here we met up with a racer from New Jersey who wanted us to say Hi to Big Al ! Jack found a steering wheel for his Chevelle which fit neatly into his suitcase... he was limited to what he could take on the airplane on this trip !
