Ok so the race is almost around the corner - I have a real nice field of
cars coming but do I have your entry?
As per normal for this race weekend we will keep you busy for the whole
weekend. If you signed up for test and tune on Friday that is like 6
sessions! Then we have a great trackside reception.
Saturday you have a quick practice and then a qualifier and then two races
and on Sunday two more races!
As always we are doing our charity rides - Candy's Rides - and there will be
something special going on for the drivers who bring out their cars.
We have a Spridget only race - Donna Mae Mims Memorial
Marque of the year race MG
A match race - or perhaps grudge race - some S2's going nose to nose with
some FF
Our FF & CF only race - I understand Chris Shoemaker and Royale cars will be
doing the trophies for that race
Saturday's party at the track is not to be missed
I understand we have various racers who get challenged by their crew and are
taken out to the Kart track so the crew chief can show them it is about how
they drive, not how he has the car set up!
Flashlight drags on Saturday eve. Yes, well
The most laid back race you will do with tons of track time, stewards and
workers that have more combined time doing this stuff than most anywhere you
may ever race and I do not care if you tell me you just got back from
LeMans!
And the real kicker - you help us to raise money for people who need our
help so much. With your help we will most likely hit the 4 million dollar
mark this year and that is not monies raised as most places talk about -
that is money handed over to the charities. With your help families get to
be families and their loved ones get a lot more from life than they would
have without YOU.
And yes it does not hurt that your entry fee is tax deductible - but I know
for me and for my wife Candy, yes the woman the rides are named for, it was
never about the number we put on our tax form - nope it was about the kid
going down the track in a race car - singing and rocking the faster he went
- That is what is all about - me seeing that kid's grin and his parents
smiles!
Hope to see you at the track - I can even say I will buy you a beer (comes
with the reception and dinner (o:
