My wife had driven us to the owner's house, so that I could ride the bike home, and she'd follow me just to make sure that I got it home OK. It was dark by the time we signed the paperwork and got on the road, and on the way home, I noticed that one of my wife's tail lights was out.

CJ, our company operates two sportsman-level organizations, the NMRA Ford Nationals, which is an all-Ford racing series, and the NMCA Muscle Car Nationals, an all-domestic brand series. At this event, we run both series together, with specialty classes for Ford, GM and Mopar cars. Sadly, this was our last race at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, as the track is shutting down soon to be converted to either residential or commercial use to support a new factory being built nearby.
