I would like to thank the Alvey, Layer, Nicewanger, and Wilkes famaliles, expecially the very special ladies for the assistance with my little get together at Indy. I have been remiss in my duties for not expressing my gratitude for I could not have done it without them. I sincerely appreciate the help. I hope yall have a great time at your party.

Good times were indeed had by all!



Festivities began Friday night with a get together at the Ramada Plaza's Wick's restaurant, with good food and drink, a live band, and merely the beginning of a long weekend of bench racing. If are not yet properly prepared for the 2014 season, please make sure to get your official Redman decal for your car. When you win, buy him a beer.



Saturday morning, a group headed for Bluegrass Indoor Karting, where
Ricky Decker promptly whooped everyone. After the first race, we were sure that he just happened to get 'the fast cart'.

Race #1................. Best Lap .... Avg Lap
1 - Ricky Decker ..... 25.397 ....... 25.891
2 - Jeff Dona ........... 25.583 ....... 26.651
3 - Patrick Downing.. 26.290 ...... 27.290



Charley Bob engages in strategery with Kevin Zaskowski and Joe Martens in the hospitality room, replete with pizza and pop, as everyone tries to figure out how to beat Decker. Well, Chuckles was trying to figure out how to get thrown out. He was only black flagged for a couple of laps and reprimanded, however. We should be allowed back by next year.

Race #2................. Best Lap .... Avg Lap
1 - Ricky Decker ..... 25.360 ..... 25.852
2 - Michael Beard ... 25.478 ..... 26.234
3 - Jeff Dona ........... 25.503 ..... 25.933

Back at the hotel hospitality room, war stories and fellowship continued...

[Joe Martens]

A great time was had by all! A big thank you to Matt Alvey and everyone else involved in organizing this party. It was like going to a race without the racing, and with Leo and Redman being there was a treat! Eating, drinking and plenty of bench racing and lots of laughs! We definitely had a blast at the go cart track! The Downing Brothers are like a comedy act when they are together! Looking forward to next years bash already!
