    Not the way I wanted to meet him, but I got a phonecall from my mother that went down to visit my grandma because of heart failure on Thursday...

    On Friday I ended up going by my grandfathers grave and visiting for a little while, after the case we drove down the road, and I see this huge 20 yard by 20 yard grave DODGE ram head on a hill... I see up on the top of the hill was a huge building that said Arrington Manufacturing... I was like wholy shit pretty badass....

    I have seen alot of you guys recently talking about Arrington's products....

    It really became wierd, when my mom, aunt and I went out to dinner at a little place called Marshall's. Buddy Arrington owns it, and I met him, (wearing a dodge hat of course). I thought it was just very ironic, 6 hours before that I saw the building. Beautiful place, and offered to take me through it when I come back down there again in Martinsville.


    coming from an srt-4 background... DCR (Darrel Cox Racing) is based out of Ridgeway, VA which does alot with Arrington...

    Just wanted to share this pretty crazy story, At least it was one of the positive on the trip... The grandmother being in the ICU with heart failure is a total blower.... :(

    Prayers for your grandmother and your family.

    I'm sure meeting Buddy Arrington helped brighten your day a little.

    I totally agree.. my grandmother has been living in Martinsville for over 60 years... Pretty crazy... Grandfather was retired from dupont after 35 years...

    I must say it did put a smile on my face...
