You have to start somewhere and last night the first brick was laid in what will be a strong foundation for the MTQRL to build upon.

It would have been nice to have 40 TQ's in the pits, 20 cars starting the feature, 5 cars battling for the lead, and everyone still on the track when the checkers waived. Did I expect this to happen? No. Do I expect this to happen this season? Probably not.

But I do see a bright future for the MTQRL. Mark & Jen Frechette have a vision of where they want the MTQRL to go (and grow) and I have faith in them that they will carry out their plan. It's not going to be easy. It will take a lot of hard work but they are in it for the long haul. If TQ racing can return to its glory days I believe the Frechette's, and the people they surround themselves with, can get the job done.

In 9 short months they have accomplished alot. They have started a racing organization from scratch, acquired a title sponsor (along with several contingency sponsors), and scheduled a 20 race season. They have held 2 races to date and have had 17 cars at each show. There have been 26 different cars compete over those 2 races so I think they have a good base to draw from. Next weekend they will be at the Jefferson Co. Fairgrounds in Madison and I think some of the competitors will feel more comfortable racing at the smaller venue.

Give the MTQRL a chance. Remember Rome wasn't built in a day.
