THE DAY BEGAN WITH A PRAYER AND A SHORT SERMON BY LUKE NIEVAR TO HELP ENCOURAGE THE RIDERS AND BLESS THEM WITH A SAFE AND FUN DAY OF RACING. LYNN NICKERSON WAS BACK AT THE HELM WITH THE MICROPHONE ANNOUNCING. LT (LYNN THORNE) JOINED BY JAQCUE MORGAN WERE SET AT THE GATES TO LINE THE RACERS UP, FIRE THEM UP AND DROP THE GATES TO GET THEM STARTED. JAMES GORMAN WAS SETTLED IN AT THE FINISH LINE FLAGGING STATION GETTING READY TO THROW THE CHECKERED AT THE RIDERS THAT EARNED IT. THE SCORING GIRLS BONNIE AND AMIE WERE IN PLACE TO SEND THE INFO DOWN TO DAN CLARK THE "IT" COMPUTER GUY. WITH THIS WINNING COMBINATION OF PLAYERS YOU ARE DESTINED TO HAVE A GOOD DAY AT THE TRACK RACING. |
