Wow, you continue to impress me with the effort that you're giving to make this league something special. I can't wait to see the continued growth of this series!

If there's anything that I can do to help, just let me know. I would like to continue to be a part of it.

Shawn, I can say this, I do agree with you, this has been one, FUN season, and I can't think of any "hiccups" that have occured, everything has been done, to improve the owners and drivers positions, as far as holding down costs, and leveling the playing field, we have, I feel, improved our position in the "pecking order" of racing that fans,as well as owner/drivers can say, they have enjoyed the much improved fan base, the interest of more people wanting to get involved, it was a total new experience for those that created this league, but they have made adjustments that seemed to be agreeable to all involved. We look forward to the upcoming banquet, and to next season as well. Thanks from all of us at McClure/Lux racing. Bob

I can only say that I am in awe of what has taken place this season. And we aren't even finished yet. What lots of people considered to be a "one and done" venture has been anything but that. I have seen great racing, racers and owners having FUN, and witnessed and met people I would never have dreamed I would get a chance to see. Jen, Mark, Gary, the sponsers, and countless others have certainly put out a product that few could forsee a year ago. I know I don't get around to see all the drivers and owners as much as I would like, but I truly appreciate the time, effort, and willpower of each and every one of you to help put on a great show week after week. I am very honored to be a part of this league, and I thank everyone that has been involved in making this a season that I will never forget. All the officials that I have had a pleasure of working with........thanks for making this a great year. Yes, even Charlie.

OK, lets see a show of hands, who's planning on being at Greensburg Sat nite? We all know there is a good chance that Mother Nature will be, but we take that chance every week, so who else is hungry, to race, and enjoy some good food after? Bob

Hey, Bob. You might check the weather again. I am thinking that Mother Nature might be a night early. So, if she's not packing too much of a punch, all should be fine!

The #45 will be there! I have some unfinished business at Greensburg, last time I got to mud pack and the drive line went south. I am ready to rip this weekend!

ah, unfinished business at Greensburg, I like the sound of that

hope your luck is better this time around.
