I want to thank Carl Schodde Jr for his support this season. He's been tied up with work and projects and has only been able to race once with us this year. He has generously contributed his entry fee into each race purse this year, and is doing so for Hagerstown too. So far, with Carl and the Boyd family, we will have an extra $400 for the weekend purses from them; the Boyds are contributing $250 ($100 into each race plus a $50 award for the weekend's Long Distance Tow) and Carl's $150.

Also, be sure to thank our sponsors Jim Evanuik, Jim Lydon and Jan Cavacini. These gentlemen each posted $800 into our Association ($2,400 total, divided up into individual race purses and year-end Points Series), so with their help, there is another $300 into the weekend races ($100 Saturday and $200 Sunday).

And, if anyone else is interested in posting any money/awards for the weekend, please let me know.

I know we are still five days away from the weekend. But, as of this afternoon, weather forecast looks really good according to wunderground.com

Sunny Saturday, 61 high/43 low
Mostly sunny Sunday, high 54 low 37.
Best thing, zero % chance of rain either day. I will take that weather.
