Totally agree Mark! Fantastic facility and great race with Silver Crown cars. Glad Jacob was not hurt! Hope we go back for years to come!

That's what I thought. Too much of a coincidence for you and the County Commissioner to both be in New Pal. I'll look you up at the next one. Would love to say hey.

This year we (Jacob) are racing pavement sprints and silver crown cars both, and Clint will race a few Kenyon Midget races, but his main focus is crew chief for his brother on both cars. I have to say Clint is doing a fine job too. I am amazed at what a couple of young men can accomplish when they put their heart and soul into it.
