Leading off the Cacklefest Parade
were the Honorees
Leading off the push start cars
was "Stormin Norman" Weekly in the Frantic 4 car of
Weekly, Rivero, Fox & Holding. This year was bitter sweet
for the team as it was announced that this will be Norm's final
appearance at any event. We all hope that doesn't happen.
