Hey Everyone,
Is anyone still in touch with Tommy. I've been out of the loop for a while, does anyone still talk to or see him.
I miss this guy, he has always been an inspiration to all of us.
If you still talk to him, please ask him to stop by a race some time for a visit.

Thanks Pete

PS. For you younger members; Tommy was fighter pilot in Vietnam. Just talking to him will give you a profound appreciation for life. Plus he's just a cool guy.

Pete,

Yes I talk to TP on a regular basis and he is doing great as usual. He hasn't been to the races due to what's happening out there these days, yet once this is over I imagine he will come out and visit.

Thanks Kim,
I'm glad to hear he's OK.
Please ask him to stop by some time soon. If I know ahead of time, I'll have a cold one ready for him.

Pete

I'm not much of a drinker, but for you, I'd bring some cold ones. Party at my RV Saturday night before our Sunday race at Cal city.
How does that work for you?

Huh? I have a Tommy Bahama Hawaiian shirt? I wonder if that gets me into Pete's RV party? It's a a Costco knockoff but you can hardly tell.

I wonder how many people we can fit in Pete's RV? I remember fitting 10 people in a Volkswagen bug. I may have just thought of a new venue for our banquet.

Coolest dude in the OTHG of all time!

Flew a Vought F8 Crusader off the USS Hancock in Vietnam. The time he was flying a escort mission and had a anti aircraft missle shot at him was quite the story. 8)
