Collecting money was off to a brisk start yesterday. Thanks to Jerry Spencer for letting me borrow a bucket off them,which Monica Clauson decorated and set out on a table at Camp Clauson. I didnt get to the Speedway till 5 yesterday,but everyone told me it was very scccessful so far. I havent counted it yet to see if we're near the goal. If we go over the goal,we'll add to the amounts,and maybe add in more awards.

I'll be out and about collecting when things get a bit livelier at the track today.

In the meantime, the Camp Clauson is located closest to the speedway end of the motorhome parking,in the 3rd row from the grain building towards the street. It has Budweiser banners strung up around the motorhome as well. As usual its a popular gathering spot for people to stop by and talk racing.

Stop on by !!

I also talked to Ken Wagner (better known as Wags) from California last night. He offered some info on what he used to do when he used to collect "Wagsbucks" and hand them out at the track. He told me over the years he handed out OVER 600 thousand dollars!!! Its basically where I got this idea from,and I'll be talking to him more later today.
