Zach, I understand your position, I think, but like Sandy said, car count is not important, it is in the growing that is where it's at, people are having fun, going to different tracks, intertaining new people, as long as we have good, wheel to wheel racing, and no problems from the drivers and crews, it will continue to grow, besides, when we had 60+ cars, we sent the biggest part of them home, with empty pockets, it won't last long that way either. And another thing, when we brought all those cars to race tracks with other divisions running, they'd have just as soon we only had 20, it just delayed everything else, we haven't earned our stripes, anywhere except on our home courts, where we are the only show, and then you see who really comes to see the TQ's run. Don't worry, Zach, I won't hurt myself, or anyone else, but it's hard to see where you're coming from, if you want to run, load up your car and be there, don't make any difference if your number 16, or 31, you'll still get to race, and have fun! Bob

Thanks,

Love the picture, David. I hope to see you at the race.

When Gary Lee told me about all the Hall of Famers he had talked into coming out, I couldn't believe it. To be able to honor them in person will be unreal. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet these great drivers. I can't wait to hear some of the stories they have to tell Saturday night.

This will be our biggest event of the year. In addition to the Hall of Famers, we'll have 2 midgets on display. One driven by Bettenhausen and the other by Foyt. The WIFE FM DJs will be racing gators. (My money is on Jordon.)Plus, of course, exciting racing by some of the greatest TQ drivers in the country.

Oh, and we have that announcer... what's his name? ... Oh, yeah, Gary Lee.

Let's have fun. "Slip and Slide, Dip and Dive!"

I'll give this one a boost to the top!

I would love to see a good turnout of fans and cars tomorrow. It'll be nice to pay tribute to Larry Rice and honor him and all of the other great drivers that will be there!

That's the plan. I will try to update as much as possible. It looks like God is going to water the track just enough. Track condition reports looked good tonight.

I might post pictures. If we had posted pics of Franklin, no one would have shown up.

And the racing will be great no matter how many cars. The MTQRL has been making the tracks very raceable.


Let us not forget Nelson Stewart. I am told that he will be racing also.

See you at the track,
