Immokalee Regional Raceway is also one of the tracks that make you feel welcome and thank you for supporting their events. Its one of the stops on the spring tour in Florida.

I would have to agree with Dion and Phillip the IHRA crew did a great job with the Pro Am series, unfortunately it may be changed for 2012 due to low car counts, i will start another thread about this. Dion is correct with the small tracks in our area do a great job of making you feel welcome, the Saskatoon event is very fun as we are the headliners and are treated especially good by Dave and the whole Saskatoon gang.

"Bremerton Raceway makes me feel like my parents did when I came home from college for Xmas." Chris is that a good thing or a bad thing?? I guess it depends if you brought a lot of dirty laundry home for your mom to wash,,, or,, if you asked your dad for more money. I'm hoping you've been treated alright at Bremerton. Take care.

Royce Miller at MIR for Ihra's Sportsman Spectacular in July. Class act and very well run facility.

THE LEGEND · 11-11-2011, 09:27 AM

A few come to mind.
1) Spring Fling bracket race at Bristol. Peter and Kyle walked the staging lanes before first rd thanking everyone for coming. That race had a different atmosphere than a lot I've been too.

2) IHRA Sportsman Spectacular at MIR and VMP. Both places thanked us.

3) Piedmont Dragway Door Car Nationals - Satch Gragg and Gilmer Hinshaw both Thanked us for being there.

4) Everytime at a Anthony Walton promotion event.

5) Billy Wilson at Darlington IHRA race, The Miles family at Carolina Dragway, Tony Brown at Mooresville

6) Steve Earwood at the Memorial day bracket races and the Bracket finals.

There are a lot more but the thanking has to be a 2 - way street. I try to find the promoter of the event and Thank them for having us there, especially if it is a bad weekend for them.

Ditto on Ralph and Thomas at Immokolee.
The entire IHRA staff at all their events.
Dunn-Benson Dragstrip. A local 1/8th mile track in North Carolina. Ms. Loretta at the gate is the best.
I've been to so many places this year just trying to think of them all. Sorry if i left anyone out.

Also,Div.7 official staging lanes perpetual mascot, Harold Owens, helps make these races what they are.Wouldn't be the same without him!
