Now, It is Our Turn

Now, It is Our Turn
YES! The Hoosier Hundred has been saved! Thanks to new promoter Bob Sargent, the folks at the Indiana State Farigrounds, Indiana State Government, K&K, the United States Auto Club and past promoters Team 6R, the Hoosier Hundred will take place this season. These folks along with others behind the scenes burned the midnight oil to make this happen.

Yes folks, the spirit of Open Wheel auto racing is alive and well in Indiana. It did not die and move to Charlotte. The fine folks that are mentioned above and those did more than we will ever know, who worked relentlessly to make this happen. These folks are the ones who truly believe in this sport. Good job folks!

Now it is our turn:Every one of you out there that cares about this sport. Every one that bitched, moaned and groaned. Every one of you that called and wrote showing your support. All of you make sure that their efforts did not go in vein. Mark your calendars for May 26th. Be there to support your sport. Be there to support folks that would not give up. Bring your friends, heck bring your enemies. Show everyone that the spirit of auto racing lives, in Indiana, in the hearts of the old and yes, bring your kids, because they are the next generation that will keep our sport alive!

Also be there at Springfield and DuQuoin, support the promoters that support you. Thanks folks for going out on a limb and keeping the Hoosier Hundred alive. I will be there and I hope you will be too.
