2016 was a great but bittersweet year for all of us race fans. First the good attended 22 races just down 1 from 2015. Attended Eldora 7 times and went to my first Kings Royal in years and Four Crown for the 2nd year in a row. BC won 5 times in the 22 races that I attended. Smackdown was the best races of the year even with the Tornadoes which was totally Nuts! Got back to the Little 500 after a year off and it was great. The Bunkhouse Gang went to 4 different tracks together Eldora 3, The Burg 1, LPS 1, Kokomo 1 and it really doesn't get much more fun than that. At Smackdown handed out each night the BC award to the driver finishing 7th each night in the A-main. Since Wednesday was a wash 17th place got it Saturday night as well. Winners Brady Bacon, Jarrett Andretti 2 times and Sunshine Tyler Courtney on his 7th place finish on the final night. The passing of BC in august was tough on everyone and we will miss him very much not just because of his racing but for the kind of man he was and the Class he brought to the table in everything he was about on and off the track! Prayers to his family and friends. Thanks for sharing him with us and we love you all! Many of you may or may not know this but the Bunkhouse Gang lost a great man and huge race fan and the Bunkhouse Boss Harvey Hendershot in December his loss will be missed and we can only hope we can make him proud by continuing his great passion for racing and life he instilled in all of us. Here's to a safe and happy, Healthy 2017 everyone. Hope to meet many more of you at the races.
