IHRA Points Awards, Final Mega 10 Race & Season's End

2008-11-24T14:55:00Z

Hi Everyone-

Well, it's time for the season to finish off, and I would like to say that when I took this job back in April of this year I was real uncertain of what I was getting into. Could I do it? Would I like it? Would I stay with it?

Now that I look back through out this year, I can honestly say I love my job and all the great new friends I have made and cannot imagine doing anything else at this point in my life. This year has flew by, and I am already looking ahead to new things for next year. I would truly like to thank each and everyone of you for all the help and patience I have been given. Racing truly is a family of it's own.

Now- to the more serious stuff.

Dec 13 will be our final race for this season, and we have alot going on that day. It will be our final Mega 10 Race for 08. Drawings will be held and all awards presented this day. Anyone that participated in at least 7 races, will be in the drawing to win. (If you not sure how many you attended, let me know and I will look it up)

IHRA Points Awards will also be given out this day. We need the top 10 winners for Pro & Footbrake present at 1:00 this day to recieve their award.

The schedule for next season is in the works, but I don't have the date yet of the first race. As soon as I know, I will let everyone know.

If anyone has any questions, please contact me.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.
