A lot of you are wondering why I won't be attending anymore races for the rest of 2012 season. It all hit me this weekend while attending Englishtown. So let me fill you in.
The main reason is that my son and his wife are having a baby girl this July. They are struggling right now because my son was let go at his job. With my son & wife having 2 children already, and a third on the way, I need to put aside my passion to help my family. They are my life, and my grandchildren mean the world to me. It just wouldn't feel right, if I was flying here or flying there to attend races while my kids are struggling. I will be back next year in hopes that everything works our well for my son and his family and they get back on their feet. I love you all for all caring and reaching out for my concerns. I really appreciate you all.

Secondly, I had hoped, as a dream to get into the NHRA in some sort of fashion, because I love to Promote, Market, and assist all that drag racing has to offer. I know it takes time and perseverance, but it is time I put it on the back burner for now, and do what I must do. So that is why I created another twitter account because I won't be able to do as much of what I have done in the past. This way no one will expect me to tweet a lot of what is going on within the NHRA.
God Bless you all, and I thank you for all the great memories and understanding. I hope to see you all next year and a track near you.
