With the hours ticking down to the big celebration, I wanted to take this time to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. As we reflect back on 2010, I know it was a difficult time for many. The economy has been tough and I know of folks who have struggled. Let's hope that 2011 brings better news and prosperity to all.

2010 was a great year for open wheel racing here in the midwest. We were fortunate to have decent summer weather with some rainouts but not too many. The action on the track was hot and heavy and we as fans were entertained with outstanding racing. I am anxiously awaiting the springtime and with that the dawn of a new racing season.

Here is wishing you all a very safe and Happy New Year. Hope to see you at the races.
