Congratulations to TheChromeHorn.com

[Tracy87BB]

On behalf of sister site LongIslandJam.com, I want to congratulate Richie and his dedicated staff of volunteers on their Speedy Award nomination for Best Series or Track Coverage. The nomination in itself is an honor, and speaks volumes about the caliber of people involved. I know that it is no small task to put something like this together, and it makes me proud to be a part of RacerHub.

Congratulations and good luck!

Thank you Tracy.
It was a shock to see us nominated.
It is really nice to see that we were nominated and that we have a great following of fans.
Thanks goes out to everyone that has had anything to do with The Chrome Horn over the last 2 years.
Hopefully, more to come.....

I'm pretty honored not only to be nominated, but with such great nominees. Shawn is looking to repeat (rightfully so if he does) and Travis is a great to read. Speed51 is a one stop for alot of news. I'm still kind of in awe that two years ago Richie and I started this little deal, and with the help of so many people, that we never expected, here we all are. Win or lose Sunday, I'm proud of this site. Thank you to Linda and Norm Case, Ted Baxter, the Hodges and everyone that contributes to the site. To everyone who has supported this since we started and those that have come on board since the merger, I thank you for putting us in a position to even be considered for an award like this.

Well buddy you did it! So proud of TCH and the community that supports it! You've been heard loud and clear :applause: Now sit back and enjoy this for 5 minutes?
Thanks for keeping this "out of touch" soul informed about what is going on in the WMT! Hope to "see" you soon!

[chrome horn]

I am genuinely in awe. We don't do this website for notoriety or fame, we do it out of love and that unique obsession we ALL have with the 700 horsepower groundpounders. I was sincere in my happiness about just being nominated, but to have been selected, I'm amazed.
I'd like to thank EVERYONE involved, Sponsors contributors and most of all the community that comes here to check the news, post on the forum and even those that just come and "lurk" I thank you all.

Richie summed it up in his post. I just want to add to Richie, thank you for all your work. I don't know how you find the time to keep things fresh around here. Thanks for not letting me walk away almost 5 years ago.

[MOD JUNKIE]

Congrats to the TCH crew and all that help with news and coverage.
The best series with the best site to cover it !.......

[cndnj1]

:applause: Hope for many more to come. Great people here and great pictures too. Also looking back at all these roads we have traveled on this internet we still have Lou Cady to thank for starting our Modified info source leading to such a great website of info for us to play in. Thanks
