First let me apologies for what was my initial reaction (holy S@#t) when It was announced that I was inducted into the Suffolk association of figure 8 racing Ernie Maynor Memorial Hall of Fame.
As Joe Larson Was making his introduction all I could think was (holy S@#t) that's me (holy S@#t) that's me. So when it was announced, that's all I could think to say.
For those of you that know me, you know that this is a great honor. Over the 38 years that SAFER has kept figure 8 racing alive there have been many great drivers, car owners, crew members, officials,Car Builders and motor sports writers. that have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
I am very proud to be added to the list. It has been a dream of mine , But I did not think this would happen any time soon.
I am also proud to be inducted in the same year as Ricky Swanson.
Ricky and I have worked together many years ago,I consider Ricky the McGiever of auto racing.
Thanks to all the members.
Lets keep figure 8 racing alive as long as we all have a place to play.
So lets do what we can to get the car count up.
There are many super pro truck drivers and Blunderbust drivers that by coming over to the figure division can make more by finishing a figure 8 race then they can winning where they are now.
We need to put on as caution free of a race as possible.
And all teams should take advantage of the weather and stay out in the garage and make your car as best we can.
Again thanks for this great honor.
And thanks to Mike Albasini, Roger Turbush and Rob(dancing shoes) McCormick for attending our banquet
