All of Charlie Mincey’s, John Layton’s, Donald Tyson’s and Gordon Brown’s hard work gave everybody that came to the First Annual North Georgia and Tennessee Racers Reunion the greatest time they could have had at any reunion.
When you start out with one of the most picturesque settings in Georgia, you are way ahead of the game. Gordon Brown’s farm, southeast of Dalton, GA, has been in his family nearly two centuries. There are animals, green lush grass and trees galore for you to enjoy. But the main event was the attendees – from Bruce Brantley to Freddy Fryar to Mike Head to Jody Ridley to Bob Richey to Leon Sells to more folks than I can name.
It started with some tent set up before noon, and then everyone started to arrive with their scrapbooks and photos. Robin Evans brought the Checkered Flag Catering truck and we knew we were in for some good old racetrack food. Then the cars started to arrive and ran the geese off with the sweet sounds.
