GHiT 0519: Vicki's Surprise Weekend at the NJMP Lightning HPDE with NASA Northeast
GHiT 0519: Vicki's Surprise Weekend at the NJMP Lightning HPDE with NASA Northeast Another podcast example that the post race weekend hangover is real, but we wanted to cover the big race weekend. This is part one of 3 or so and this event wraps up our 2023 season. As frequent listeners know, we had a big surprise in store for Miss Vicki and now we can go into the event in detail. As a background, Vicki and Bill had their 25th wedding anniversary in October and postponed the celebration due to life and racing obligations. In addition, Bill had been planning a celebration for many years to say thank you to Vicki for spending/wasting half of her life with him. So Jennifer, Debbie, and Audra helped set up a surprise party on Friday to give Vicki her finished race car. And then Saturday evening, Adam Owens officiated our renewal of vows. Also, we did a lot of racing in the 8 cars we brought to the track. Thank you to everyone who could attend and those who weren't able to, please contact Bill at [email protected] for another secret surprise that is underway.
