The 2019 Nationals will be an event I will remember for quite a while. First and foremost, was the absence of our dear friend Bud Scolastico.

I got my first Camaro Brochure in early September of 1968.  I was at the ‘Great Allentown Fair’, and drooled over what I  thought was a new model of Corvair.  There was a line of people in front of a tent – and the sign said “FREE” – so my brother and I stood at…
