Great post...Parker has been part of me my whole life, and even more of my familys. My dad won his first race @ Bluewater when Dick put together the family drags, he became a regular at the strip when he was still in high school, he's now in his 60's. I totally understand where you're comming from. To me Parker is just home, and we really miss the big #'s of boats that would show for the kilo's every year!!! I remember as a little guy standing on the dock for hours as the endro ran.......that was fun shit!!
