John, not a problem.

When I stood for the first time where the Cobras of Ken and Dave were parked in the garage (the foundation is still in place), it was a very emotional moment.

It is an experience to still be able to walk this special place. Glenn "Fireball" Roberts won his last race at this track. And, six of the seven top finishers in the NASCAR "Augusta 510" run on November 17, 1963 were lost before the next racing season: "Fireball" Roberts, Joe Weatherly, Dave MacDonald, Jimmy Pardue, Billy Wade and Larry Thomas. The seventh driver was Ned Jarrett.

Sorry to get off the subject a bit. I have more photos of Cobras at the track that will go up over the next few days.

Henry
