Re: Special Thanks message from the owner of IOW... Please Read.
 

Bill,
This site has become like an addiction. It is the best site on the internet. My wife thinks I am a little to into the sprint car racing but never says a word when I say I am going to the races. (she's not real crazy about the big right rear in the garage that i have been trying to turn into an end table). On the few trips she has made to the track with me she actually really gets into the racing as well. She is pushing me to travel and go to all the ISW races next summer and I think I will take her up on the offer if I find a camper to use. I am fairly new to the board and may have missed this, but it would be great if all the IOW people could get together before one of the ISW races and have a little party. Bill thanks for the great site. And my prayers are with you. B. B. in Aurora, IN:respect:

Not sure I believe you attended the same events I did over the years. I can't for the life of me remember seeing a skinny guy with a funny-looking hat back in the day.:emote20:

IOW.com is one great big sometimes dysfunctional family and I am proud to be a part of it. Been here nearly since the start of USACfans.com. It makes racing that much more enjoyable to see who among the group will show up. I've made more friends these past few years than I ever thought I would, RichH very much included. The only way the races would be even better is if a certain website developer would be on the grounds helping Brian Hayden get his car in the show.

Thanks, Bill. Your efforts are very much appreciated.:applaud:

I remember those days... man was that fun! Believe it or not... WE have talked about returning to racing in some way in the future. To be honest though... I think it will take a change in ownership at a certain race track before anything would even be considered.

For us Bill -

IOW - the next best thing to being there.

But if Indiana had mountains, we would have no need for your MB - because we WOULD be there!:)

Personally for me, this board has helped me to make many new friendships that I wouldn't have otherwise made. Results, updates, and a heck of alot of "internet" racing that we should all enjoy. Plus all of the speculation, I heard from a reliable sourse, someone told me items that are as they say, "priceless".

I like having seats with your name strategically placed by FishBurger for me at the Burg!!!! and all the great people I have met and got to spend time with, both on the hills, in the grandstands, and pitside. Shortbus is still a trouble maker, but we have learned to cope!! Thanks to all:thumb:

IOW has had a major effect on my race track expreience and racing season. First off, I've made friends here, that will be friends for life. Quite a few, in fact. Secondly, on many weekends, IOW allows me to be at two or three tracks simultaeneously. There are so many times that I'm physically at one track and will be answering my cell, taking live updates from up to two others (where ever Hoover, Danny, Marv, Monica, etc., may be). Not only does that benefit me, but also other race fans, who happen to be sitting nearby, overhear what's going on and get caught up in the updates. So IOW has opened up channels of inter-track communication that, previously, didn't exist.

And being completely tuned in to just exactly what's going on and when, has like Rich H said, sparked my interest and increased my yearly race count.

I have made SO many GREAT friends that I know I never would have had the opportunity to meet without this site!

I would be absolutely lost up here without this site! It's a close community where we can all depend on each other when needed!
I love it and appreciate it very much!:respect:
