Hi Mark.

Again, congrats on your win, Controversial or not. I haven't raced in years, but attend as many races as I can to visit friends. I just don't understand the problem and also having people in your face is WRONG. If you are invited by a certain track, at which you have raced, and the entry is approved by the DD then what is the problem. Shouldn't the people be upset with the DD and not you personally. I have watched you race many times and even raced against you many years ago. You did the job required and sometimes you get beat. Bottom line "Way to go Mark." Hope to talk again with you soon. Your buddy Ron in Fife.

Obviously I thought I was doing everything by the book. Assured a couple times that everything was legal and good to go. Scoring a race of champions victory was something on the bucket list that I've always wanted to do. Thinking that I had met the requirements to participate, I was happy to represent Medicine Hat. Great track, wonderful people, and happy to have us. As we were thrilled to race in the ET Finals!
I had planned on taking Labor Day off and do something away from racing. Go to a lake, golf, whatever!!! But when I'm invited to attend the team race, I happily accepted, since I hadn't done it in a few years. It's a shame there's so many people bitching about it now that it's done...

Also, I sure didn't appreciate a guy getting in my face in the staging lanes before I raced his son on Sunday. Pretty much saying they were filing a grievance against me and he was going to shut me down at the front of the lanes and that I didn't belong in the race. It didn't happen, but he got in my head and I lost. Shame on me for letting him do that, but pretty classless.

Let the Sunday thing go,head to Pomona and accecpt the $3500 check from Summit on Thursday night. You`ve earned it! To top it off,win the deal and enjoy the $5000 check Sunday night! Enjoy!!!
