Got a real surprise yesterday.

Congrats, and it sounded like you really deserve that nomination. I wish our speedway could have been saved by someone like yourself! The New Asheville Speedway was an awesome asphalt short track. The City of Asheville, and some greenies hatched a scheme to buy the track, and turn it into a big greenway/park. The track was for sale by the former owner, and the greenies had some guy outbid the people that were going to buy it. They even had a large donation from Robin Williams, toward their cause while he was here filming Patch Adams. By the time it came to light that the guy that bought it and "donated" it to Riverlink was just a ruse, it was too late to do anything about it. Dick Trickle raced at NAS once while he was running Winston Cup. Congrats again on your nomination.
