A big thanks to the racers, great show for the fans, the track guys who were seemingly
always on the track picking up debris, cleaning up after one of the many wrecks
or pushing the endless number of sprints and vintage race cars!  Another thanks
to Rita, Mike and Bob for the new sound system!  Motocross on June 20th, stock cars
return on the 27th with the Adult Hornets, Youth Hornets, Hobby's, Street Stocks,
