Thanks and Congrats

[Fl Boy in ILL]

First off I need to thank Mike Lavazza aka Popslavaz, Rick Alexander aka Copper/Beaver for the great motor i ran for the last 2 seasons.

Congrats to Brad Murphy and the whole Murphy gang on an excellent year, Brad won SLDBA High Points in 11 sec S/E class and Runner up in KDBA, motors by Pops and Beaver also

With the Murphys, Pops and Beaver help I also won KDBA High Points in 10 sec M/E and Runner Up in SLDBA, SLDBA came down to the finals of the last race with the #1 and #2 points leaders 10 points apart, I was beaten in the finals by 0.001 sec. and cut a 0.003 light!!!! Great job on Billy Booher's part (sorry it was a jet boat)

Its been a GREAT season of points racing, thanks to the SLDBA, KDBA, SDBA, and IHBA for giving us a place to go and see our friends, play with our toys and compete. Thanks also to all of my fellow racers who are always willing to lend a helping hand in the pits

Thanks guys!!! And I also have to thank my great buddies Mike and Rick (aka Pops and Beaver) for building me a championship motor and ALL their help and support. Both are very, very good at what they do and even better as friends!!!
Also have to give a huge thanks to my race partner, mentor and great friend Rick Conklin. We are truly a great race team in that we just "know" what the other needs when in the pits to get the job done on the track.
My wife (the race mom) and kids Joe and Amanda for all their help and support. I couldnt have done any of this without them. My wife, Kim gets into it just as much as I do, so when I'm running it's as if she's out there with me....thanks babe.
To sum it up how could I lose with a "family" like that helping me out!!!!!!!!
And a big thanks to all the other racers and fine people running the two clubs I run in.................Brad
