I will tell my favorite story of the meet, as it mainly involves me getting made fun of.
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Cherie when I arrived on Wed. Was standing there talking to her and after a few minutes her phone rang and it was Chuck calling her. About 30 seconds into her conversation with him, all of a sudden she blurts out "Chuck, would you please get over here so Kevin can look up and talk to you instead of staring at my tits?" busted...  Met so many wonderful people this week whom I sure will remain friends with for a long time. I can't say enough good things about Chuck. The guy made an effort for me that not many people would or could ever appreciate. Thanks again bro...you are the man in my book.

Just got back in to Jax an hour ago. Had a flight from Newark to Atlanta delayed 4 hours last night, got into Atlanta at 1:30am, too late to get the connecting flight, got my first chance to "sleep" in an airport, then got a flight to Jax this morning. Total time in airport/on airplanes for what should have been a 2.5 hour trip: 17 1/2 hours! The joy of air travel. I'm sure others have similar stories.
By the way, just to echo everyone else, it was an absolute pleasure meeting as many DT'ers as I did. Just wish I could have been there for more than 1 afternoon (and also wish I could have collected a friggin ticket  ).

Great pix. Wished I had stayed around for Sunday's action.
Not sure I can top GPK's story, but after the races on Saturday and a few drinks at the Horseshoe, my group decided that they wanted to go to the Racino to see ABBA, the Tour. I am still somewhat at a loss for words. It was very interesting and entertaining in a very strange way.  Sorry I didn't have the opportunity to meet more fellow DTers. I stopped by Carolina BBQ late Friday to introduce myself to Steve after the show. Met one other DTer as well, though his name is esacping me at the moment. Would have really enjoyed hanging around the tent had it not been for my prior engagements all weekend. Will be back for Travers weekend. Best of luck to the Sum1 connections and to everyone else for a profitable and enjoyable meet.

I am definitely starting to feel my age... after 4 nights of getting in after 3AM, I've had about as much as I can handle.
I need a vacation from my vacation. LOL I just want to thank Dell and Satan's Twin again for letting me crash at the hotel and for the rides back and forth from the track. Nicer guys can not be met and if other DT'ers have the chance to meet them, you guys need to. Scavs is exactly how he appears on this board... FULL TILT and a comedy guy. I had a blast hanging out with him and the rest of the Arlington crew who helped make this weekend possible for me. I don't want to forget anyone, but it was great to meet EVERYONE on this forum that came to Toga this past weekend. Hooves, you're a great person and your wife has got to be one of the nicest people I've met. I hope you convince her to sign up on here and start posting. Last but not least, Sumwonlovesyou... WOW is all I can say. She is a nice filly, guys. I've got knots in my stomach worrying about her race next weekend. I wish I could make it back up for it, but I can't... I'll be living vicariously through the other DT'ers to bring her home first.  P.S. I hope Kev made it home OK. He got stuck at the airport all night.

Cherie's tough and smart. She's going to be a great trainer some day.
