As we ponder the meaning of 9/11 lets not forget the other 9/11 that many of us experienced five years ago. September 2011 was going to be a great week for racing, the weather was perfect, a full field of racers and the long awaited return of the fully race prepped Galloping Ghost. For a couple of minutes there Jimmy Leeward was going like he never had before, he passed Rare Bear and looked like he was going to catch up with Voodoo and maybe Strega. Those of us that were there will never forget the time and the place. The races will never be quite the same again just as they never were the same after Gary Levitz, Rick Brickert, John Sandberg, and others gave everything they had to the sport. I hope and pray for safe races this year.
