Thanks to I-55 for the memorial race for John. For those who don't know John was the regional sales manager for the Valvoline Direct Market here in St Louis. John was the driving force behind Valvolines sponsorship of local tracks a few years back. John lost his life on the way home from I-55...
There's a lot of good people in all classes. That's one of the things that makes racers a special breed. Lord knows a lot of people have helped my no driving ass lol and I really appreciate it and respect everyone for it! And yes I'll post my name!

We really appreciate that. We race for the love of it, always have always will. I think that credit should go where it is due. Kevin and Tammy bust their ass for the local racer and I sat thanks! The only way I can do that is to show up. We race to have fun and load it on the trailer in one...
The 5w will be there as a show of support to Kevin and Tammy for all of their support to local racing. We don't stand an ice cubes chance in hell but we'll be there. Always work late on Fridays but it's our chance to say thank you for supporting local racing and the people that love it. (Ps...
Maybe it's just my opinion which usually isn't worth much, but maybe drivers are tired of rules not being enforced, maybe they're tired of being of being treated like red headed step children by track officials or maybe the cost to be competive has gotten to the point that only a few can travel...
