MAYBE WE SHOULD TELL YOU THAT THE BANQUET WILL BE NOVEMBER24th. at Cimenaros Banquet Hall in Niles. TICKETS WILL BE ON SALE VERY SOON. I THINK THEY WILL STILL BE $25 per Person, AS BEFORE. (Hasn't been decided yet). But it will be a big deal with the HOF as it was last year. We will also raffle off the Racing Go Cart that evening. I Loved paying tribute to the drivers, & Owners that thrilled me when I was a kid. I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE. Dick Berry.

Cmon folks, Get in your NOMINATIONS. We at Twin State take this stuff seriously, & work hard to make it special. I was the recpt of the Hall of Fame Award last year, & you go along for years racing, then something like this comes up. & I can tell you, it is pretty damn special that someone takes notice of your efforts, & it meant the world to me to have one of these Plaques hanging on my wall. After 42 years of racing, not many people are rewarded for their efforts, so it was really super to be a part of it.

I would like to nomiate Ron Zimmer as car owner of the year. He owns the #62 emod of Ken Zimmer and # 24 street stock of Ryan Blood. Along with being the class sponsor for the emods at Raceway 7 and sponsoring the cars of Joel Watson, Chad Wright and Percy McDonald.He uses his race teams to spearhead the annual transverse myletis fundraiser that sends handicaped kids and there families to Victory Junction Gang Camp. Along with the cars being on display at the Special Olympics fundraiser in Fairview, PA. Just like his business his raceteams are run with the utmost integrity. I know I may be partial because without him I wouldn't of had the chance to return to the drivers seat. Above all that him and his wife Mary are great people. Thanks for listening. Ryan Blood # 24
