Only seven months away and already Camp And Brew 2007
thoughts are formulating in our minds. We can’t help it, we are obsessed. Not
just with all our C&B friends, but the whole track atmosphere, the racing and
entire public spectacle...not to mention
Brian’s Wish. Did we mention
Brew?!?! Can’t forget the Brew!!!
Having plenty of beer on hand has always been a part of the equation. Because it
rhymed with 2002, our name was born. It was just a few cases the first year,
with it’s resultant large pile of aluminum cans. Year two saw a keg show up and
by year three we procured our current jockey-box set up to tap and cool the beer
down to a refreshing temperature.
What could we possibly do to make Camp And Brew 2007 better than the pervious
five years?!?! Well, we went all out and personally invited
Richard Abramson and Gene Simmons.
As self appointed good will ambassador for the Camp and Brew staff, Tommy D.
arrived at the end of year
Downforce banquet at IMS to invite the Simmons and Abramson personally. Fred
Nation, Executive VP of Communications at the Speedway introduced TommyD to
Richard Abramson. Fred explained, as best he could, how Camp and Brew was
something that Richard should become acquainted with.
Tommy proceeded to regale Richard with a few of the facts and
stories behind the events first five years. Richard said he would make
the introduction of Tommy to Gene and as the photographic evidence
shows, he was true to his word.
Will they dare show? If you’ve watched any of Gene’s Family Jewels series
(Mondays at 10 EST on A&E) then you get the impression that Gene does as Gene
wishes….At least when his wife is not around. If we could convince him that lots
of attractive women will be there, we’d put better than even odds he would
actually make it!
Most recently, Camp And Brew was honored to receive a full color,
suitable for framing, Official Certificate of Appreciation in the mail
from 16th and Georgetown. It is in recognition for sponsorship of Lap
#125 which we did in the name of Brian’s Wish.
We were thrilled to be accepted by the Citizen’s Speedway Committee as a Lap
Prize Sponsor for the 90th running and hope to periodically do this in the
future.
Check back for our Christmas C&B Update in early December.
