Army Armstrong was at the Bash...

A friend of mine here in Muncie used to work with Army back in the Diamond P and TNN days covering the monster truck and pulling truck scene. I told him last Wednesday about the upcoming Bash in Owensboro...He asked me if I knew who Army was. When I said "Hell yes"...he told me he would call him and have him stop by and say hey. (He is from Owensboro.)
Sure enough, he did. He stayed and talked to us for about a 1/2 hour or so....I got him to sign the back of my bash shirt.
When he was leaving, he was going to walk around and check out some rides...just wondered if anyone else talked to him.
It was pretty cool meeting someone I grew up watching on TV in person....Very down to earth and a super guy to talk to.

Army is an old school buddy of mine, we used to race together in 1968 for Dr. Pearson. We've gone to the same church together since we were 13 years old. I wished I'd known he was there.

I wish I would have known that Charlie....I would have sent him to the tower....It would have been neat to hear him announcing over the PA. I really got a kick out of meeting him.

Would have been a pleasure meeting him.
