A thank you from Autograph Day Founder Gary Dominguez

Well, better late than never! My apologies for not sending this out sooner.
I wish to thank everyone involved in making Midwest Racers Autograph Day a
huge success… again! Despite the cool temperatures, the atmosphere was warm
at Uncle Ron's on April 7th.

I wish to thank my committee who worked diligently through their own work
schedules and personal challenges to make it all happen for the sport they
love. My heartfelt thanks go out to Suzanne Lammers, The Bryan Race Team,
Melissa Borman, Mandi Oswald, Patti Herrod, Mike Mook, Bruce Steenson, Doug
McCall, Joe Orth, Chris Moses, Brandon Anderson, and Amy Wooten. Without
their hard work, there is NO Autograph Day! Thanks to all the other
volunteers that helped with traffic control, and setup of the event.

April 7th 2007 with it's cool temperatures may have put a damper on
attendance, but it could not subdue the spirit of all that came to show
their support of racing. This years event took on a political twist with the
debate over putting in a drag strip in Northern Lancaster County. To help
show our support, we were fortunate to have Lincoln Mayoral Candidate Ken
Svoboda in attendance.

Our humble thanks to (Uncle) Ron Tegtmeier for allowing us to have our event
at his facility free of charge. He is truly a pillar of our community, and
an ambassador to motorsports.

Thanks to our sponsors that contributed to the event ensuring it stays free
of charge to fans, and participants. Don't forget to use the goods and
services of sponsors that "support your sport".

Thanks to our participating racetracks Nebraska Motorplex, Eagle Raceway,
I-80 Speedway, and Beatrice Raceway for helping to promote racing in the
Midwest, and providing "a place to race" for all of us!

Thanks to our Grand Marshals Don Droud Senior, and George Bogue for helping
to pave the way to racing as we know it today.

Special Thanks to Willie Ideen, our Grand Marshal Emeritus for providing
additional electrical power when needed for our event. Willie truly embodies
the heart and soul of racing.

Most of all I want to thank our participants and fans for braving the cold
to show their support for motorsports . I am sure I am not mentioning
everyone that helped with our event, but the gratitude is there
none-the-less.

May all of you have a safe, and enjoyable 2007 racing season, and don't
drive faster than your angels can fly!

God Bless,
Gary Dominguez- Founder
