The Mods at his track are the envy of most tracks A class.

Changed his track himself with fishinman, Johnson and a couple others to make it racier and reduce the turn two problems, Put drainage near the track exit. Even announced one night himself. Helped groups and campers outside the track often. Went out and got companies and groups, Gave em discounts and parties.........

And last but not least, Ran shows when others wouldn't with inclement weather around. Way too many tracks IMHO calling shows and rain never or barely happens. I do understand the desire not to loose money though.

All that being said, I gotta tip my hat to all promoters for doing what they do.

Congrats to the HARF award winners!

You must not have been watching Bryan this year. He's been a Monster in everything he's driven. Won Midget week. Top three in Sprint week. Multiple wins in each division at multiple tracks

Bryan is well deserving of this honor. Congrats Bryan!

Closing, I have nothing against HARF and their decision. I posted before reading MR. Blacks statement and agree, The list and years of this group are outstanding and impecable.

Agree totally! I mean no disrespect to HARF but I really think they dropped the ball where Dave is concerned! I agree with the rest of there picks and appreciate the kind words said about Dave by Mr. Black but I think thet should look at this again and at least have co POY. Knowing Dave he probably wont even think about it but give credit where it is due.
