ParticipantBrian,
Thanks for coming out and playing in the heat. Now if we only had some “trees” (ha, ha)… Tell you dad Hi,

ParticipantI’ll 2nd Brians comments (maybe the 1st time ever!)
Your team is gelling and you are always looking to make this fun and changing it up. Like I said in an earlier post. We leave every time thinking “well that was the most fun we’ve had racing”
We’ve said that over the past years about some of the out of town races, now we’re saying that about our home tracks! How fortunate are we?
Pro job! Recovery, race control, flagging, tech, timing & scoring, trash maintenance, pit parking, fm broadcast, wireless connection, porta potty pretty much the whole package. (Uh… except the trash can by us, should have seen Ben try to lift 80 lbs of bottles first thing in a.m.)
“The Show” and it keeps getting another improvement or update each time around. Pretty cool. We can’t afford to go race cars or whatever, this is about it for us. A few years back I asked Roman “If we won the lottery, what would you want to race? I’m thinking F1, Alms etc… In typical Roman fashion, (a few minutes later) “I don’t know, I kinda like karts” That was it for me. My wife lives for it, My son lives for it, my dog lives for it and certainly, this is the most fun I’ve had racing. This includes running down the road in a very well supported, high end stacker with some very high dollar equipment in it. With a steering wheel in my hand. That became less fun after a while.
Some of you kids & parents out there racing who have great aspirations in your racing future. Maybe a few of you “make it” some won’t. Have fun, enjoy spending time with your family and friends now. Enjoy the quality of facilities we get to run at and the safety and effort of the track owners and local teams to make it a great experience for us. The tracks probably make more money off of rentals than they do us. But all are racers first and it shows in eyes of the track owners for sure. This may be the time of your life. Enjoy it.
Rod and I sat at the edge of The Track Saturday night (am?) and just talked about, how lucky we are. Some of the out of towner’s we spoke with had to drive several hours to a track. We have several closer than their one choice. Also, I am a bush pilot and helicopter pilot and have to say, watching some of the planes on short final or taking off from The Track or Grand Junction is a very nice feature. (Brad can you work on getting an airport put in too?)
Jim, you have some employees who want it, are getting it and will excell at it. That has to be pretty exciting for us.

ParticipantRick,
Well said and I second it. I’m not driving at the Grands but I’m looking forward to volunteering and hanging around racers. See you all soon.

I totally agree with Rick’s comments. Nice job to you and everybody at The Track. And, oh yeah, it was fun racing with you.

If it was not for your kindness, for the use of your brake pads! I would have missed the mini max main! Sorry they are all used up!
Thanks again, Ryan Rudolph = Mini Max #11
