Thanks to Jerry & Mert with the A.M.S.A for all their work scheduling races this year, Also thanks to Bill May with the MMSA for his work getting some new race tracks to race at this year. Nathan, Charlie and I had a lot of fun running with both groups.

I just wanted to let everyone know I had an absolute fantastic time racing at Lawrenceburg Myself on October 3rd at Lawrenceburg. I had never raced before and loved it. Thanks to Andy Bradley and Allen Rupenthal for letting me race Andy's # 86 I used the heat race to get familiar with the car, and then raced hard in the B main to take 2nd behind Dustin Hueston to make it into the feature. (I was pumped) I want to say thanks to Larry Fasse for congradulating me after the race. I had a good run going in the feature, I think maybe up to 7th or 8th with 2 laps to go, when I started wearing out. (Need to get back into shape) I probably should have taken it a little easier, but I did not, and ended up in the wall. Still I had a great time. I hope to get to try again next year. For the most part I will leave the racing up to my son Nathan.

I must say, it is harder than it looks from the stands. You need to be in good condition to run competitivly for 20 strong hard laps. Especialy when the track may be a little rough.
