It was sad to hear John Sr. say he's retiring after this year. It has been a lot of fun watching John Sr. run since both his adult kids, Lyndsay & John Jr., jobs have taken them out of this state. Seeing his wife Jody and sister Sue every friday will make anyone smile. Thanks for the memories Ward Family, but most of all, Thanks for the Friendship!

Cindy,

You and Doc and the whole LT posse are good people and I am glad I got to know you and the fam.

Very Happy

I have to agree with Cindy and the T2 team, John, it was always good to see you pullinto the track. But, you are going out like you should, a champion in the figure 8 and competing for the championship in the regular Pony class.

Good luck in the future John, hope to see you at the track on Friday's anyway, driver or not.

have a good day,

schinde

John:

Asbolutely NOT...we will not let you retire as of yet. You must wait until you hit 86 before you retire young man. Shocked

Seriously though, you will be missed alot. No matter what kind of night you had you always said hi to me after the night when I was sitting at the picnic table in the pits. Your smiling face will be missed when you come up to the pit shack to pick up your transponder too.

Also, just because you are retiring please don't stay away. We still need your smiling face.

Take care,

Caroline & Doug

Tyson, you're such a sweetie. You guys have been so supportive of our family, you're like our own blood. Thanks for the kind words about my Little Bro. Those who know him best know what a big heart he has for everybody. That's why we love him. He picked a great wifey, too. I wish the kids were home; we're proud of them wherever they are. I'm so glad I got to know you guys. Thanks for all you do and all you've done - T2 Crew is the best. Thanks again!
