This is in reply to all the UMRA Bashing and the bashing of The UMRA President and officials. I have given this a great deal of thought. My name is Tracy Anderson, I am VERY PROUD to say that I am Travis Stickels, the current UMRA President's sister. Travis does not know I am doing this and he will probably be upset with me. He always tells me to let things go, but I can no longer do that. For the past 5 years I have watched Travis pour his heart and soul into what he honestly believed was the best for the organization. During those 5 years I have watched him be sued, be lied to, be stabbed in the back by people that had always professed to be his friend but did not get their way, you know who you are!! I have heard him be called a cheat, a liar and a thief. Through all of this, he has held his head high and continued to work tirelessly for UMRA. The last straw for me was Saturday night at Anderson Speedway when the Jenmarco people told him that he did not care. I am going to tell you how much Travis cares about UMRA. June 10 2006, I stood in the driveway of our father's home beside Travis as the hearse was leaving with our fathers body. Shortly after the hearse drove up the road Travis's cell phone rang,it was a track promoter interested in UMRA. Travis took that call, he did not say where we were or what had just occured, he leaned his head on his truck and continued to work for the UMRA. After the conversation we drove to his home where we began to plan for our fathers funeral. That is how much Travis Stickels cares about the United Midget Racing Association and its members. Travis does not need me to defend him, but as I said I am a sister that is extremely proud of the man that my brother is, I encourage my son to look to Travis as a role model. I have said what I needed to say!! To Travis I am sorry if I upset you by doing this but it is time that people know just how much you care.
To Jenmarco, by your own admission you have no experience in the racing business, good luck! I hope that you find someone that will work as hard for your club as Travis Stickels has for UMRA but I doubt it.
