So, here is my thoughts for the day. The staff at New England Dragway is the best.. And i really mean that... We, and by we i mean the staff at the Concord NH YMCA brought 125 kids to the track.. We prepared as best as we could.. And I do believe i can say that everyone, and i mean everyone had a great time. The kids and staff got to tour the pits. Meet some drivers. Check out the Race Cars. Take pictures, and just flat out be able to say that they saw some of the best that NHRA Division 1 has to offer. People were coming over and handing out stuff, hero cards, stickers, hats. The kids got to hear Jay Blake talk about what it takes to follow your dreams. Many,many vendors and Race Teams made give a way's available to the kids. You all today proved why Drag Racers are some of the best people going. This wouldnt have been possible without the support of many many people. All of the staff at the YMCA, The management. All of the racers. And i would really like to say to the teams that just walked up and started throwing hats out the kids.. You are awesome.
I want to thank Debbie Clark, Joe Lombardo Dave Mohn, Keith at the pit gate. You guys proved that you are class acts.
