    Gene Cromer turned 84 today and thanks to Quain Stott and Gene's many friends The Moonlighter is running again and wowing the crowds much like he did when I was that 13 year old kid watching The Moonlighter pull the front wheels off the ground,that was 53 years ago!

    Gene was and still is a good man,and I am happy to call him my friend.HRP

    Happy Birthday Gene!

    Happy Birthday Gene, still doing it after all these years. It still puts a smile on my face every time that I see you and the Moonlighter

    Just a poor attempt at a joke referencing the stereotypical 84 year old driving on the Interstate in the right lane at 55mph with the left turn signal on.
