As my daughter stated, myself and our two kids, Shelley and Justin, have always attended the SKM race to honor Sheldon. I have always felt his presence when I walk in to Bloomington Speedway. It's where I feel closest to him and remember nothing but happy times there. When I've mentioned to people that we have always had to pay our own admission and never been asked by the track to present the trophy, people are astonished. Shelley and I went down a couple of times on our own for the presentation, but always made to feel as if we weren't wanted. I am so disappointed that they are taking away the honor to a man who loved this town and this track. Sheldon was a hero to this town and his Indy Car, Silver Crown, and Sprint Car history is legendary. Myself, our family, and all his fans are terribly hurt by the decision to discontinue the Sheldon Kinser Memorial! I think the track will lose a lot of fans. I know they've lost us!!
