Thanks for all the positive comments guys! For those of you who are not aware, this is Aaron Fry, the owner/promoter of the BOSS series. I have been known as "sprinter14" on message boards for my entire sprint career (14 years now). I am doing this for the love of the sport and doing what I think is in the best interest of the sport. If anyone has any comments, questions, or suggestions, I am easy to talk to and I appreciate any and all feedback.

To answer some questions, here are the drivers that I believe plan to run for the 2012 BOSS title: Todd Keen, Kirk Jeffries, Landon Simon, Mark Cassella, Aaron Middaugh, Michael Fischesser, Lewie Christian, Lance Webb, Dustin Smith, J.T. Stapp and at least 5 others plan to run the first 3 or 4 races and see how they shake out in the early points.

Several people have asked who is behind BOSS, and I just want to let everyone know that it is 100% owned by myself. You will see 4 people on race nights in BOSS shirts and they are myself, my daughter, Troy Uhrig (marking tires), and Jim Roseberry (infield worker). All four of us are 100% dedicated to the series and promoting non wing racing in the Buckeye State!

As for the post about fog at Southern Ohio Speedway, I don't recall that being a persistent problem at that track and I have probably seen more races there than any person on IOW. I was born and raised in Ironton, Ohio, about 20 minutes from Southern and that track is the reason why I got into racing, so it is only fitting that BOSS will run there.

Thanks again for all the positive comments and lookin forward to seeing everyone at Fremont May 12th for the opener!!

George Harbour was one of my heroes as a kid! He, Bob Carico, Junior Smalley, Pappy Singleton, ........ my earliest memories of life itself is sitting in the bleachers at Atomic or Southern and watching the sprints! My parents were actually late model fans and they had no clue what effect those sprints were having on me, haha.

I met Bob Carico in a college class in 1996 and when I bought my first sprint car later that year, Bob started helping me out. As bad as I hate to admit it, I'm not sure what happened to Bob. He disappeared on me over a year ago and went back to his hometown.

Be sure to look me up at one of our BOSS races this year!!
