Every now and then I like to open up a forum to what is going on locally over the weekend.

What are your racing plans this weekend? Are you planning on just watching a race on television or are you planning on attending an event?

Drag Racing? Motocross? Mud Runs?

Do you want to share how a particular team or individual is doing?

I would love to hear about it.

I’ve been up and running now for nearly two weeks. Is there anything you would like to see me do differently?

When do you go online each day to catch up on things? I base my updates on when I think you are going to be on the Net (unless there is breaking news).

I haven’t had many more folks sign up for automatic updates. (I do have quite a few, just not many new folks that I've seen contribute comments.)

Do you know how to do it? Do you want me to do this for you?

It is so easy and it e-mails you when an update has been posted, with a link directly to this blog. Or maybe you just don’t want additional e-mails cluttering up your inbox?

Are you just along for the ride and will discuss whatever?

Would you like to see every Thursday be an open forum sort of day, to discuss the local weekend events?

I realize there is more to racing than just NASCAR – with Beech Ridge, Oxford Plains and New Hampshire International Speedway so close by, just to name a few.

I also realize I am not going to please EVERYONE, but I will try my best to please the majority with topics that interest you. BUT I need your feedback.

I am sure you have opinions on what you'd like to see in a racing blog. I am interested in hearing them. I am posted on the www.pressherald.com, www.kjonline.com and www.onlinesentinel.com.

Please share your thoughts, and also let me know what you’re doing this weekend…

Since today is Thursday and the weekend is fast approaching, I thought I would use this space to ask: What are YOU going to be doing for racing fun this weekend?

Here's a forum where you can promote what makes you “tick.” You can link stats, points, various Web sites, and basically anything your heart desires.

I wouldn’t dare dip my toe into a form of racing that I know nothing about. You guys would pounce on me if I made an error.

I am doing this because of e-mail comments I received on Monday when the race got rained out on Sunday. I heard what you said about a lack of racing coverage in our newspaper. If I get enough feedback on this, I may do this more often as we head into each weekend.

I would suggest you set it up so that you receive an e-mail when I update my blog. I think the title on this will always be “All things racing.” I hope this helps.

You can also continue to e-mail me directly. I look forward to learning about various other forms of racing from you.

About the race last night at Eldora... That was so much fun to watch. It is nice to see those guys race and not worry about points. They were all smiles last night. No worries.

As a matter of fact, Ryan Newman and Bill Elliott crashed into each other. Elliott wound up on the roof of his car, and it took several men to flip it upright. He got out laughing and Newman was smiling also. Tony Stewart was right there making sure no one was injured. All in fun. Good ole fashion racing. It was a nice change of pace...
