“Make a Statement” is this years Autograph Day goal.
Dear Friends,
I’d like to thank you past and present for your support of Midwest Racers Autograph Day. I would also like to extend my gratitude to my committee that has become another family to me. Without their hard work and volunteering, there would be no Autograph Day!
This years Autograph Day is not only a statement for racers and their sponsors, it is a statement for survival of their sport. With some area tracks lacking attendance, and the politically charged atmosphere regarding motorsports lately, it is imperative we show our solidarity on April 7th.
To the racers, I am asking each and every one of you to bring your race machines, and place them on display from 11-4PM. Extend the invitation to your family, sponsors and sphere of influence to attend also.
To the fans I am asking you to attend and show your support of the hard working souls that put their racing machines on the track every week. Encourage your family and friends that support motorsports to attend also.
As you know, our event is free to all racers and spectators. Our only source of income is from our sponsors. If you would like to become one of our sponsors, we have several affordable options available. We even have a memorial sponsorship you can dedicate to a loved one that is no longer with us.
Friends, I can’t stress enough to you the importance of April 7th 2007. I always refer to the racing community as the “Racing Family”. Whether you think it is valid or vulgar, it is the truth. In my 30+ years of racing I have seen many changes, but the one thing that does not change is our closeness with our particular sports. As racers we get angry, say nasty things to each other, and sometimes fight amongst ourselves, but when one of us is down, or hurting, the others always come in to support each other. If that’s not a family, then I don’t know what a family is. Now is the time for our family to come together, and let the powers that be know we are here to stay!
As I have said before, “There is NO Family like a Racing Family!”
Thanks to all of you and God Bless,
Gary Dominguez- Founder
