We go to the Labor Day races in Crandon every year but it always seems that we are busy for the June races there. I absolutely love off-road racing. You can keep that roundy-roundy NASCAR racing. That bores me to tears.
Evan Evans is my favorite in the Pro 2. I heard he had pole position for the Governor's Cup.
If a driver could ever be a hero, Evan's it - paralyzed from the waist down in a motorcycle accident about 8 years ago, his off-road racing father, Walker Evans, talked him into giving it a try. Chevy sponsored him in the beginning but dropped him a few years ago when they pulled all their support from the off-road racing circuit. He's been struggling the past few years to get adequate sponsorship. Now I heard the Potowatomi have taken him on. That should be a big help. I'm looking forward to hearing he is doing well this year.
on edit: I'm happy and somewhat surprised to hear you had a good reception at the races. I've tried to steer other pols to them but I think Dems fear redneck types and perhaps with good cause. In Northern Wisconsin, most of them are pukes.
