Would like to give a big thanks to spartan speedway for the chance to race for the past 6 years. As you may not know I've sold my car and will not be returning to the famous 1/4 mile.

I would like to thank everybody from Lloyd and Dennis at the pit gate to Caroline and Big Ed in the booth. Thanks for the family atmosphere and the fun racing.

The race car will be there next year being piloted by Grant Hedges. So make sure you give him and his dad Jeff a great big spartan welcome.

THANKS TO ALL!!

Bubber:

Oh come on..You have to get another car of some sort...I will miss your huge notebook that you bring to write your check out to Spartan Speedway to get into the pits

It has been my pleasure to hand you your transponder young man and to score you from the tower...I always enjoyed seeing you out there racing.

All kidding aside I do hope you decide to come back sometime and race with us again.

Take care,

Caroline

Bubber,

PLEASE don't be a stranger. People like yourself are what makes the racing Family what it is. We all are experiencing trouble times and need to cutback where necessary.

You may not be out there competing every Friday, but please don't forget that your other "family" would love to just be able to see you every now and then out at the track, or even right here on this board. Your insights and opinions are always welcomed, as is your presence.

Take care and stay in contact, as we will miss you and yours!!!!
