I sit here reflecting on 2011. It has been an exciting year for the PWDRacing League.
We started out racing with Lucky 13 and he provided us with a good place to race, exciting racing, and great times. What Lucky put in place for PWDRacing certainly was and is what this league is all about. He set the stage for how this year would turn out. His direction and leadership lead us to where we are now. Lucky has stepped away for a while, but he is always going to be welcome to come back and take over where he left off. Lucky is Pinewood Derby Racing. I want to thank my friend and one of my greatest competitors for being there for me, teaching me so much, and being a great mentor to so many of us.
We then had a changing of the guard. This transition was quick and mostly painless. Lucky made this possible for all of us. His vision of what the league should be and where it needs to go is still spot on.
Once I heard of a need from Lucky I set out to locate a racing venue that would be second to none and well located for all. Several of the league racers spent countless hours making sure the venue was ready for league racing and they made sure I could not fail running the races. I want to send a special thanks out to Spacewalker, Casmier Racing, Sky Racing, and Cash Racing. These are 4 guys that made sure the league would function without a hitch. They have and continue to support the league above and beyond what is asked of them.
The league boards also had a changing of the guard. Steepslope stepped up to become a admin of our board. He has given countless hours to make sure the boards are running smooth as silk. He continues each day to bring new and exciting things to the boards. He has made great improvements in the boards and I am sure he will continue to do so well into the future. He is the one that is changes the board theme and making sure we are always in touch with the holidays. I like it and I know many others do too.
We also have has several new Mods on the boards. Their leadership is second to none and they are always willing to lend a hand to our board members. I want to thank Casmier, BSB, and our newest Mod 5Kids Racing. These guys give a good bit of their time answering questions and making sure the board runs smoothly. I also want to thank 5Kids for all the posts he has made that detail many of the things needed to be successful in league racing. He has really proven himself to be a asset to the league and to the forum.
I want to give a great big shout out to Mood Swing Productions. I have emailed, PMed, and called Mood many times asking him questions about how to make something happen when it comes to the board. He has always answered me no matter the time of day and never made me feel stupid for the questions. I have to admit looking back some of them were a little stupid.
I want to thank Mr. Slick too. Mr. Slick started the league out. If not for him and what he put forth the league would not be here. He continues to support the league and has stepped aside so that the league can grow. This is a true sign of a leader. He saw the league could grow and was willing to make sure it did.
I also want to thank our sponsors. We are so very blessed to such great sponsors. We are able each year to give away some of the finest prizes in Derby Racing. If we did not have such great sponsors the prizes would not be what they are. Please take a minute and email our sponsors and let them know they are valued.
In just a couple of hours we will be starting the 2012 PWDRacing Championship Series. This season will be full of exciting racing and great fellowship. The season is set and the rules are there. Will you be one of our Champions at the end of the exciting season? I know I want to be one of them, how about you? I am excited to see what each racer will bring to the races and what new innovations will be made to racing this season. I look forward to seeing each of our members on the track this season and I know we will have a blast!
