SGT/SC#0471 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 A huge giant thanks to SAI crew and Robert for the tickets to the 427 race!!! I had a total blast and the tickets were top notch. Your generosity was greatly appreciated. My first NASCAR race was spent with my Pops at the 427...awesome...we really really enjoied ourselfs. And the shots of Cuervo and Hieniken were a nice treat at a race. My Pops just bought a winter place near the speedway and man am I stoked. Everyone at the track I spoke with were awesome. SAI should be very proud of their employees, they were all very nice and mellow. Robert is a top notch guy and very nice. Thanks Again! I also had a great time at the Harley Cafe but never met a few of you from the forum, may we meet again. That grey Super Snake at the cafe was amazing, the SS stripes look killer in person. I never liked them in pictures but man in person they are sharp. Thanks guys!!!! Spending the day with my Pops was very special for us both, he wanted me to make sure that I thanked all involved for him as well... They say that pictures speak a thousand words see below, thanks again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Shea 3567 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I mirror the feelings and experiences outlined above. The tickets provided me with an experience that was absolutely positive and top notch from start to finish. All of the employees and staff at the race venue (You all handled the three day crush in great style, I was drawn to the trailer several times for "just one more thing-you all were very gracious and helpful each time), Shelby Museum, Shelby Cafe and SPP were excellent! I bought my SGT in November, and everything associated with that purchase has been a great experience. Having the race experience and ability to come down and see all of the related things associated with it was icing on the cake. Thanks again for making the week a memorable one for me. One problem though...all the must have stuff I bought made my suitcase overweight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT/SC#0471 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 those are great moments McCoy....my DAD was Airborne too and damn proud just like your Dad! It was a candid shot of my Pop, he just turned to watch the cars go by and I snapped his picture. He always has either a Airborne or a Viet Nam Vet hat on usually...thats just him the way he always is...pretty funny guy we were doing shots and beers and having a great time. He can still party pretty good for an old guy...haha. He may know your Dad you never know. He was stoked to spend some time at the track together...pretty cool. SAI made it a great reason for me to go down to Vegas...I think I will go to the LVMS again it was terriffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad came up thru Airborne school with the 82nd, but then went to Augsburg with the 11th.(1955-1957) He was so proud. He loved telling us about how when the treaty was signed after wwII and occupying forces were put in place, the agreement was NO AIRBORNE in Germany occupying forces for 10 years. Since they had kicked so much butt during the war. My Dad went over in 1955 with the first Airborne units allowed in..... The entire 11th Airborne Division marching in in their dress uni's.... must have been a sight to behold. Sorry to get off topic, he is gone 10 years now and you brought me back to one of his finest moments and memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD SNAKE Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 It's nice you can spend "quality" time with your father like that! My dad "dropped" airborne guys out of C-124's and C-141's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
