Racing Report
Well, this is the last column, the kid is retiring. [I feel I have served my usefulness, maybe sometime in the future I*11 run for an office again. It has been an interesting year for me. Another enjoyable experience has been added to my life's portfolio..
On behalf of the racing team and myself, I want to express ourrdeepest appreciation to Gary Singleton and John Kucharik for sponsoring our team. The team and the sport definitely needs fine people like these two men. We are proud to have you support-
ing us.
Club elections are coming up on December 17. If you are a club member, you have voting privileges. It's your patriotic duty to vote (the line sure sounds familiar, wonder why). Please attend the club meetings, these are for you.. If you have an idea, sugges- tion and/or opinion, express yourself at the meetings.
I want to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New
Year. May you receive all the parts your bike desires.
Train don't strain,
Mark Overfield
