I went to a mall they were supposed to stop at a few years back. They were way late and when they got there they pulled in the parking lot on the other side of the mall from where the people were waiting. After a while I rode over there to see what was going on and they had left. I went and got something to eat and stopped at the mall again and there were a few support vehicles there and a couple of motorcycles, but no NASCAR drivers around that I could find. So I'd say the whole deal is not worth bothering with.

 

Dammit, I'm on the boat till the 21st. That would've been cool to see.

 

Ah well I bet that was still fun... I would still like to go

 

Man that is sad to hear... I liked the people coming in.. I cant believe they were late. They said they would make it to where I was at 530 and they were right on time...

There is always next year....

Here is a vid clip and me and my gf were in the back ground there...

I have never really care for Kyle,...or Richard,..well hell none of the Petty clan, but I can appricate the work being done for Victory Junction and all of kids that it has helped. I would of liked to met up with the ride though, just to meet Robert D. Raiford.

Yes they have done a great amount of work for the special children out there. I wished I could go to the junction when they have camp and just see how it is. I know they spend alot of money and I know they help alot of families!

 

Bumping an old thread for an anniversary... The Victory Junction gang came through Wilmington NC on 5/11/11. We rode to downtown Wilmington and the crew rolled in right on time and snagged a few pictures of Kyle and his Crew. These guys truly are a blessing for a whole lot of special needs children. Heres a few pics from the 2011 ride taken yesterday.

 

When they started their ride here in Lake Placid on May 7th, it was mostly just another group of very wealthy, friendly people hobnobbing with the mayor & doing cocktail parties the night before.

 

Looks like by this article that a silient auction was held on 5/6 in support of Kyle's work and the public was invited. Surely some of the riders that were not hobnobbing were there?
