As promised, it's time for another "Looking Back" post.

We had made plans to head up to Bristol on the day of the night race at Bristol Motor Speedway to meet a couple of friends, Wes and Doug Poff, from my high school days in Roanoke.  Shortly before we had planned to leave to meet them for lunch, Willie received a phone call with an offer of two free tickets to that night's race.  His answer....well, duh!  So instead of a trip of just a few hours, we started throwing things together to be gone for the rest of the day....

But first things first....it was great to see Wes and Doug as they came striding into the church gymnasium where we were to eat lunch!  It had been a looooong time since we had had a chance to be together and share how our lives had changed and to where life with God had brought us.  Again, it was a unanimous decision that we needed to do this again soon, rather than later!

And then it was time to go our separate ways....their seats were on one side of the Coliseum and and ours were on the other.  But Bristol is always a sight to appreciate....

A beautiful night for a race....and we were blessed because our seats were in the shade!  Thanks, Steve!

The University of Tennessee Volunteer Band...wonder if they were there to advertise for the upcoming game pitting UT again Va Tech in 2016?  Hmmmm.....

 ...and of course, you have to have a horse and chariot if you're at THE Coliseum....

 There were the expected patriotic salutes....

And then it was time for some racing.....

 And the winner is......

 Joey Legano!

And, let's put another great day in the books!
