Here we are two weeks into February and I am just now getting to a new Gayle’s Desk. Well I shouldn’t say just now, I started one last week but I didn’t get it finished and I also didn’t save it, so it is lost somewhere in Antarctica or someplace cold. When I started this last week I had mentioned that the groundhog had seen his shadow which we all know means six more weeks of YUCK!!!!. I had also mentioned the racing in Florida which we all know has been sunshiny and warm (they must not have groundhogs in Florida). At any rate here I am on Valentines Day writing a new Gayle’s desk and hoping that I actually get it posted before St. Patrick’s Day.
Speaking of Valentines Day I would like to wish everyone a happy hearts day and I hope that cupid brings love and chocolates to everyone. I am praying that my Valentine will forego the chocolate and bring Vick’s nasal spray instead. Yes I said nasal spray. Bob and I have both been really sick all week. Actually this is our first day into the office all week and I still am having a hard time breathing. I love my grandson and I love that he shares but this flu bug he didn’t need to share. Hayden is doing much better now and hopefully Bob and I are on the upward swing of feeling better too. I’ll know how much better when my nasal spray arrives.
As I mentioned in the first paragraph the racing in Florida is in full swing. We have a few KMS Modified drivers racing in Volusia. I know Kent Robinson, Mike Spatola, Denny Schwartz, and new Modified driver Jim Ransom are among the eighty some Modified drivers there. I want to congratulate all of them on their great racing in Volusia. In the Late Models the KMS drivers names that I have seen are Dennis Erb Jr. and Frank Heckenast Jr. I also want to wish them great success on their Florida racing.
Andrea has put together a new myspace page for the speedway. It is still a work in progress but we are pleased with how it is doing so far. We do have a video clip on it from the banquet but because we had to shrink it to make it fit, the video isn’t very clear. We are working on that, we may have to put it in three different clips. Here is the directions to get to the myspace page.

Don’t forget the 4th Annual Racer’s Trade Show & Swap will be Saturday February 23rd at the Jasper County Fairgrounds in Renssalaer, Indiana. The show goes from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. (CST). We will have a booth there so be sure to stop in and say hi and pick up a schedule.
In closing I would again like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day and hopefully your loved one was as good to you as mine was to me. Yes my nose spray has arrived, I will be able to breath for four hours (at least that’s what the bottle says, we’ll see). Along with the nose spray came a box of chocolates and a card. Bob got a singing card, it sang “I Got You Babe’. How cool is that? I would also ask you to keep our armed forces in your thoughts and prayers this Valentine’s Day as well as every day as they wage the war against terrorism. I would also ask you to keep the flood victims in this area in your thoughts and prayers, they weren’t able to get one flood cleaned up when another one hit. It has been a strange year for weather. We have to quit messing with the ozone layer and start paying attention to this global warming thing.
With all that said until next time be happy and be safe.
Gayle
