    Hey Mike,
    You guys in California are lucky enough to have Mert around your hood. We here on the East Coast are thrilled that he is finally coming out our way for this event. Should be a great turnout and some exciting racing at Square Deal – the best short track in the series! Hope to see everyone there. Peg

    Hey Peg –
    You are so right! We should count the ol’ blessings…….. what I should have said is
    “I wish I could just jump on a plane and attend this event!”

    I’ll be there with my little boys… I never knew there was a venue in Harpursville. I’ve seen the tiny circle track in Owego (I live near there) but they do mostly speedway with the laydown style bikes
