Last weekend Janet and I, Troy and his wife Sheila, journeyed down to Kansas City for the Track Addix Great Plains awards banquet.
It was great to reconnect with several folks we've raced against and become friends with in the Great Plains region. It was also kind of sad to say good-bye to some as they will continue to compete in the "new" Great Plains region while Troy and I will switch to the MidWest region. We had a great time catching up and laughing alot with fellow racer Terry Goepferich and his wife from Des Moines and Charles Miller who sat with us at the banquet. Charles, who is the GP announcer and fellow Buell rider and racer will be particularly missed as he always gave Troy and I a little more air time while calling the races!
Probably the part of the banquet that was the most enjoyable was hearing everyone's thank you to Kim and Dean Rumfola for their dedication in building the GP series. Dean and Kim have been great supporters of my racing efforts and I will sorely miss them at the races. They will, however, be back into the track day business so I hope to get to some of their events at MidAmerica Motorplex near Council Bluffs, Iowa and Motorsports Park Hastings in Nebraska.
I was very excited about receiving my two awards and was really glad Janet could be there with me to share in the event. Of course after talking racing all weekend I wish the season would start, NOW!!
