Sick about missing Edmonton

I gotta say, I'm just sick to my stomach that we have to miss the Edmonton race. The track up there is great, the fans up there are great, and I love the fact the IHRA recognizes their passion for racing and gives them an event every year. It's a beautiful area of Canada, the people are so nice, and just wish that we'd have been able to raise the money to make it up there. Hopefully next year.

The good news is we've got some sponsorship agreements close to finalizing. It's not a "six-figure" long-term deal, but it's with a company intimately involved in racing and performance, and we're looking forward to helping them grow their business.

I hope everyone has a great 4th of July. This is such a great country, and even though times are tougher now than they've been in a while, and we've got challenges in front of us as a society, our economic system, our political system and our culture in general has proven time and time again that we can rise to meet these obstacles and emerge better off than we were. So go celebrate our Independence, but think about how you're going to make a difference as an individual.
