Hi Bill,
I'm one of the countless IOWers who have formed friendships via your site(s). I am also among those fortunate to have met you in person. The amazing thing about that is that we had not actually met previously, during the many visits which my son, daughter, wife and I had made to Brain Hayden's pit at various tracks. Our at-the-track chats have been far too few and too short, but we will remedy that in the future.
I have gained invaluable information about events, tracks, etc. via this board. Thanks to Jerry for convincing me to remove Haubstadt's Tri-State Speedway from my list of tracks I had not yet seen, and to Keith for giving me the directions for the best route to the Burg from Gas City, and to Ty and to Danelle for saving room for me at Kokomo on both the front and back straightaway stands, and to those who offered a prayer for Grandma Kim when she had multiple spinal surgeries. Thanks to Danny and Marv for pointing out the 50/50 girl at the Burg (I'm sure I would not have noticed her if they hadn't helped me).
As long as I don't get so senile that I cannot remember how to log onto the ol' computer, I will continue to make my daily visits to IOW.
