Subject: GMan Spridget Weekend

Great Weekend at Gingerman for Sprites and Midget Racers,

Driver School maintained it's VSCDA reputation as one of the best, especially for Graduating Spridget Racers Mike Atkins borrowing Jeff Freer's Sprite, Dan Rudd using the same car that his son Dominic drove at last year's Driver School along with Charlie Hall's Daughter Jesica driving Dad's car.  This was Mike Atkins first experience of being on track and I was proud to be his instructor and see the great progress that he made through the weekend and was a model focused safe student.  Dan Rudd has had Go Kart experience with his Son Dominick along with Jim Russel School experience.  They both have Square Body Spridgets that they hope to be enjoying together.  Charlie has wanted Jessica to attend Driver School for sometime and glad to see it happened this year.  Jessica express frustration of not being able to apply what she had hoped.  Roger Heil being the excellent Driving Instructor that he has been over the past 15 plus years knew exactly what to say and she sucessfully jumped back on that horse and gained a new awareness that she enjoyed. The weekend was warm with Friday Driver School Sunny and Clear.  Saturday was a mixed bag with some rain and slippery condition followed by rain again in the morning on Sunday followed by glorious sunshine in the afternoon including the Spridget Race.  We had an excpetional 17 Spridgets all with Driver School and Racing.   Dave Kessinger and Mark Maehling from Pittsburgh, Tom Cole and Bob Kansas returning from Ohio.  Rick Michalek from Iowa.  It was great on and off the track with lots of support particularly for students with the unselfishness of Sprite Midget Race Series Members.

There are some great shots of the weekend through VSCDA Facebook Site and some for sale.  I think we had 3 professional photographers there.  I attached some shots that were once I was interested in.

Next Stop is Blackhawk Farms June 16-18.  I will not be attending this year and I am looking for someone to assist with Spridget Paddock and Saturday Sunday Brat Lunch at BHF.  Tom Wilcox has generously took on this role in the past, but now is the Event Co-Chair of this event and needs to focus on running this great event.

Our end of season awards will be at Grattan again this year August 11-13.  I am interested in suggestions for awards in the future,  we had navy blue baseball hats with SMRS logo on front and top 3 positions on back.  I am considering doing something similar and add the year to the back as well.

Enjoy a Spridgetly Life of Excitment!
Stan Mason
