For the Legers, it is their first race, but the Notts have been to the past 25 races and wanted arrive early to get a good spot. “It’s the 50th anniversary of the race and there will be a lot of people here, Glyn Nott said. “I raced for 20 years in Canada and know a few of the racers, but wouldn’t it be fitting if Jeff Taylor finally wins one? He’s looking good.” Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal
