I wish to say that I feel quite honored to have been granted the privelege of receiving the Modified Sportsman Award for 2006, it is very special to me and is a high point for me in this past season.

Also, to have been chosen for Poor Paul's Golden Circle Award is rather humbling, I might say. I wish to state again here that I am very appreciative of this award, and also to repeat that I wish I had began racing in this community many years earlier. I have my wife to thank for this, for had she not told me to forget about racing motorcycles again and told me to do something safer for my old bones, I never would have met so many of the great people in the extended short track racing family.

I sat back and thought about this all for a while over the weekend and can clearly say this, there are a lot of people I have met through this sport that I otherwise never would have had the privelege to know, and my life is better for it. Much better and I sincerely thank everyone involved for providing me that chance to not only go racing, but to get to know so many of you.

have a good day,

schinde

Matt,

You were very deserving of both.

The best night of racing I had all year was your Rocking N Racing at out Springport.

I hope the powers that be, whomever they are.. make it so that RNRIII happens in July 07 !!

I'd like to thank the Pony Stock drivers who were in attendance at the banquet... you guys (and gal) caught me by surprise!

And thanks for the card. You're all a pretty good bunch to work with.

On another note, Paul really missed being at the banquet. If anyone would like to send him a "get-well email", you can reach him at poorpaul@spartanspeedway.com

I'm sure he would like to hear from everyone.
