Hawker,
Thank you for your tour of duty in protecting all of us here in the USA. It is extremely important that we continue to provide encouragement to our troops all over the world who day in and day out continue to fight for our freedom.

Glad that you will have a chance to see some racing at the Chili Bowl this week. Be safe.

Mike

If you are in Indiana this racing season I'm sure we can find some adult beverages from my drinking racing compatriots to toast your safe return.

76 race events in 2009...OK, AZ, FL, CA, IN, IO,OH,IL...Drove to or was at 4 rainouts...Less races than 2008 but still saw lots of great shows and got to hang with my buds... kinda got burned out at the end of summer/fall and took a couple weekends off...Of those races most were dirt short tracks...

To clarify, I am not enlisted. I was over there working a contract maintaining ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) aircraft for a "3 letter company"...

I got in 63, 20 tracks, 8 states.
I have a new little one at home now so I won't get anywhere near those numbers this year. I think I'll still get out 30-40 times though....just not as much traveling.

49 races in three states. We had so much fun as a family of 3 going to so many races and hanging out with really great people. I hope 2010 is even better.

ok, not as good as some, but not bad for my 4th year of being a race fan.
62 races in 7 states. All races were sprints or midgets.
(Disclaimer) Aero and Mowerman, these are races that I actually made the feature! lol
