Yeah, I gotta say that this was one heck of a season. For our team here in Texas, we moved from the late model stock class (like the Bloomington Super Stocks) to a UMP modified. I made two trips up to Indiana, one in May on my own and the other with my sweetie for Sprint Week. Both trips were incredible, and I have made some real friends; in addition to those I already know. While I was taking pictures just for me, I went ahead (with the help of some folks) and started up Manvel Motorsports; and have even sold a few pictures. We finally have a handle on what we need to do to make our modified to go fast; but we only have one more event to prove it.

Yup. A great year for racing this season, and not a bad one personaly, either.

I echo those sentiments too. This has been my best year of racing..... and I hope 2009 is even better!

Here's to the friends I met in '08. I plan on making more in '09

I have to say 2008 was freaking awesome I dont know if 2009 will beat it. I sure as ***** am gonna try like HELL!!! I made some great new friends cant wait to make some more in the seasons ahead!!


LETS GO RACING!!!!!!!

2008 was great! Lots of great racing and lots of great people! We are looking forward to going to Ft. Wayne for a little indoor racing to pass the time until the 2009 dirt season starts. Little Sam is already bouncing off the walls. He is so ready for 2009.

We had a great year also. Met some new friends, Coach, the Morgan's, the T2D's bunch. Sprint Week was awesome & the Rumble can't get here soon enough.
