oh where oh where have the blogs gone

Funny I have been meaning to get back to this blog. I think that social media has made the good old fashion website obsolete!

Check out my twitter, and follow Lisa and Ray on face book.

Merry Christmas!

Been a busy fall, Conner has been on a wrestling tear! Kids good, and this is his first year. Cheyenne just did her last big Fall concert with school and we have been visiting colleges as she pursues  her music career. And as far as that little one Cassie has a full time job trying to be just like her mom. Oh and she loves to make fun of me. Especially when it come to me "going to the gym" Shes the one most likely to drive me to drink.

Big Radiothon this past weekend thanks to us99 listeners who helped us raise over a million for the kids at St,Jude. In this economy that's plain and simply amazing!

This weekend we start our snowmobile race season, Its a lot of fun, I don't hang out at bars, Don't play video games, Don't watch sports all weekend long. This is my one thing that I have the most fun at all year and it lasts only 3 months. I will have some results on Monday, Hopefully we can grab a win

Have a great day

Those of you that follow my racing have probably heard of Garretts wreck, Garret was racing over the summer and had what most riders would consider their worst nightmare he was jumping a double in Lake Mills Wisconsin and didn't clear his landing, The result was a horrendous crash crash that left Garret paralyzed from the waist down. The bills are numerous, Garrets a great kid with an unbelievable will to get back to some kind of a "normal" life although no one is sure what normal will be. These are awesome shirts, 100% of the profit go right to the kid. I know that you work hard for your money, Trust me investing in this kid something I totally endorse!

Thank you on behalf of Garrett.

Indy lost a great driver; Heres what my friend TJ Partick had to say.

Sad day yesterday for racing in general. I want to personally thank all of you who sent there well wishes and showed there concern. In my words it was a perfect storm for this to happen, and it was going to happen yesterday. I was nervous all weekend after watching practice, the cars where fast and to close. Danica said the closing rate in the draft was to much, she was the fastest on Thursday doing a 224.788 average speed!!!! The track has to much grip which makes everyone comfortable and that's why the speeds where up.




My opinion and it is the same as most people I talked to, was there where to many inexperienced drivers in the field, and to many cars! I could name the drivers they all where concerned with and it was the same drivers that started the whole wreck just being STUPID at the 10 lap mark. There is a reason that alot of the drivers that raced yesterday do not have a full time ride, they are stupid and show no respect to other drivers. Danica for some reason did back off just before the wreck happend because she felt something was going to happen. I will tell you that she was scared going into the race and every driver there all admitted the same feeling, the perfect storm did happen, and we lost a friend.



I lost a good friend in Dan Weldon, and his wife Suzi. I have been close to him since 2005, he always commented I was his dad over here because I acted just like his dad (crazy and often outspoken, I hear, and a little emotional), and said he wished his dad could be there for him as I was for Danica. I became close to his father Clive though the years as well. If anyone thinks that racing is a bad thing just because people get hurt or killed that is the wrong way to look at it. It is what they/we do it defines who we are. We all know this can happen and it does not make it easier. Life will go on and we all will remember Dan, and if you would have asked Dan before the race if he knew he would be hurt he would have raced anyways because it is what he loved to do more than life.
