Well we had an good time at the Macon, Cherry Blossom Festival. The crowd loved us, all 2500 of them. Yes 2500 people showed up for this race. Even two couples one from Canada, and one from Japan, changed there travel plans to come visit with family so they could see this race. I figure that’s a purity good turn out considering that they only had 50 people show up last year. They want us to come back this Fall and most defiantly next year for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Contracts are already being drawn up. The DLMRA helped raise over $30,000 for the Cox Cable Theater. At the VIP banquet we were treated like real VIP’s. All of the festival sponsors wanted to meet and greet with us. It was our version of the Waldorf Astoria. We are already talking about how to make the race even better. We had only one fender bender the whole race and the DLMRA took care of the racer, by giving him some money to help compensate with repairs. With a few adjustments next year the track will be even safer. Hats off to the crew that set up the track. When we rolled in they were putting the finishing touches on it. The city provided us with a safe track to race on. Next year it will be even safer.
