  1. Bob Jenkin’s enthusiasm and knowledge of the race were second to none. I remember the first race we attended in 1982 and hearing Bob’s voice for the first time over the PA discussing something about this hotshot driver Rick Mears. The day was special and is why we will continue to attend the race every year.
