All of us at The Chrome Horn appreciate the nominations and the award for
the Best Series Or Track News Coverage from SpeedwayEXPO.
I now want to start with thank you's. It is ALL of us that won this
award.
JA...Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
For everything. Friendship, trust, guidance, letting us do
this......Nothing I could say or do could show you how much this has meant
to me. Thanks buddy....
Fran Lawlor....Without Fran
and myself meeting and his modified picture taking, this website would have
never happened. Fran's pictures and my posting the WMT news for LIJam started
it all. Thanks for being a friend, sticking with me and kept those pictures
coming, despite what was happening at the time. Look where it got us!!! Kielbasi and Birch Beer
at Spencer 2009!!!!
Ted Baxter with his support
all the way back to us doing LIJam reporting of the tour. Ted has stayed
with us into the new website, provided a few stories, some videos, some
pictures, awesome bus trips and we thank you buddy.
Precision Automotive, Linda & Norm Case,
for support, chat, sponsorship, contests, friendship, more chat, ideas, more
contests, etc, etc... Our #1
main sponsor/supporters/friends!! Thanks so much for everything the two of
you provide!!! You two deserve
an award for just being you!!!
Howie & Mary Hodge. In a
strange turn of events, Howie & Mary found themselves a home here and they
were eager to share photos, insight, connections, friendship,
information, moderation, suggestions, help in running the site, etc, etc....
Howie, Mary, thanks for trusting Fran and myself on this venture. Thanks!!!!
Robert Everhart. Bob has
been with us since day #1 with pictures from the Whelen Southern Modified
Tour. Without Robert, we wouldn't have had any photo coverage of the
southern mods. Thanks Robert for sticking with us and being a big part of it
all.
Jim & Denise DuPont...WOW,
What a team. Such dedication to the sport and a great attribute to TCH. We
thank you so much for your LIVE updates, photos and insight at race time.
Thank you both so much for all you do.
Mike Mercurio. Our
latest photographer, transferred from LIJam to down south modified photo
coverage, after moving down to North Carolina. Thanks Mike for awesome shots
of the Southern Modifieds and being a friend.
Now I know I will miss someone here but will do my best to cover
everyone who has had something to do with TCH.
