2018 Top gun LargeCar Shootout

Jimmy Rosenberger of Mini Chrome Shop and I rolled into the Rantoul National Aviation Center on Thursday July 26th, knowing for the first time in all the years we have attended this great event, that we wouldn’t be seeing its founder Tom Reitz. Jimmy had talked to his wife DaVeda and learned he was in the hospital fighting complications as the result of his battle with cancer. Sadly we would never see Tom again as it was announced on Saturday morning July 28th that Tom had lost his battle. To say it was a quiet somber morning, would be an understatement.
