There aren't a lot, and there lies the disappointment. The no shows at the banquet. I can understand the guys who were racing that weekend, not being there. It's the guys I saw at the show Saturday, who didn't go to the banquet Sunday who disappointed me.
Yes , the drivers get a meal and a plaque if they earned the plaque. But the banquet is more than that, it's a bout the fans. They support the drivers all year long, going from track to track, they deserve as much respect for that, as the drivers do for driving.
Next year , if you get an award , it'd be nice to see you there to get it, give the fans at least that much.

The award winners who showed up to get their awards.
I remember in 2001 when Earl was there to be inducted into the HARF Hall of Fame and Sam Hornish Jr.was there to accept his IRL Championship award! I was there to get my award too.
I have attended many HARF Banquets as a Fan though!
We would loved to have went but work got in the way, we are trying very hard to put our program together for the 2012 season. Right now things are not looking good for Spencer Racing. H.A.R.F has been good to Josh and we would love to help them in any way possible but having a chance to make another buck towards getting on the track took priority. Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank you to the fans that keep H.A.R.F. going.
