Hi Everybody,
Just thought I'd get you in the mood for another race season. I don't have to get Bruce in the mood, he seems quite anxious to get back at it.
Me....unsure, after his accident last year, I don't know how I'll feel at the track. I've always been there to support and help him but last year didn't make me feel very warm inside, just sayin'. He is feeling much better but his back will never be the same, he feels it when the weather changes, as for his head...well...you can't ask a woman that's been married to a man for 30 years to comment on that one, just sayin'.
I've attached an article you all might enjoy reading. It's from 1976 about Roy Makinson. For those of you who know the Makinson racing history, Roy is the ringleader of this madness. It's a very good article by a very good racing news paper that, unfortunately, is no longer around.
Sorry about the article being on an angle when you download it, no matter how I try to save it, it just won't open up the right side up. You can print it out or rotate it on your own. Hope you can enjoy reading it.
Can you spot the 15 year old Bruce??
Enjoy,
Lynda
