This club is maintaining its traditions as well as growing, they are racing Rushville and some of the fairs as well as some of the finest tracks in Indiana. I do not have a problem with competition if it is done for the right reasons and not sour grapes. Some people always get down on consistent winners. My questions to STP would be what are your qualifications to run a racing association? Have you been a car owner, a track owner or a promoter? Would just like some more info!!
My qualifications are that I have built a multi-million dollar business from $500. I know what it takes to run a business and it's surrounding yourself with good people. I may not have experience as a promoter, driver or owner. I do have many people who have lots of racing experience from many aspects that are working together to get TQ racing back to what it was. I have 100% faith in them and their intentions.

The economy isn't hurting TQ racing, judging from the number car owners and drivers that have contacted me. There are enough to run 3 or 4 clubs with lots more interested in building new cars. TQ racing isn't that expensive and I plan on having higher purses to make it worth it.

Feel free to ask if you have other questions. I want to make the sport of racing better.
