Long Time CMS Employees/Racers Need Thoughts and Prayers
While I do not have current conditions, those in attendance saw Neil Zeigler, a long time employee at CMS and that night as a driver in the Flinn Stock division, be involved an accident. Neil was taken to a local hospital and then, according to sources I trust, was taken to a Lansing hospital for a possible collapsed lung and suspected rib injuries. I was also told that Neil was fully conscious and aware... just uncomfortable with his rib cage injury. Another long time racer turned CMS employee, Bob Neiman, is in an Ann Arbor hospital with a cardiac problem. Bob is the Late Model tech man and is probably one of the most respected men in the pits. He always had a smile and a handshake for me when ever we met. Please keep these men in your thoughts and prayers. If anyone has updated information, PLEASE email me so I can pass the info unto the track fans. Thanks.

About Our Live Internet Radio and Video
A lot of work has gone into bringing live Internet audio and Internet video to our racing friends. The track has consistantly worked with StreamNet Radio and Races On The Web to allow local fans to listen or watch on nights they just can't make it to the track and for a growing number of fans across America and the globe. I have received many emails from our military men and women thanking us for the ability to see what is going on at home.
While there is a small weekly charge to watch the video, the audio will be provided at no charge, thanks to our generous friends at Engine Pro and ARP Racing Products. These services are not meant to replace coming to the track but in there tough times, we hope you appreciate that the track allows us to provide these services at little to no charge.
We also can provide indviduals the ability to stream their own live or previously recorded video on our video servers for a very nominal fee. This is a way to share your wedding video with friends and family that could be at the ceremony or the fun at the last party. If you could use such a service, drop me a note from the link above.
Let's Try Again
A lot of effort went into the site that this one is replacing and I am truly sorry that I am going to have to abandon it. The main reason simply boils down to my inability to work with all the fine details that site entailed. It is no secret I have a long standing vision problem that seems to be getting worse. I went to have my eyes tested while I was in Michigan last week. Long story short, my ability to read is diminishing and it is quite possible I won't be able to drive in the near future. I'm not looking for sympathy but explaining why things haven't gone as hoped. Many pages of the old site will remain intact and in use. It was a good design but it wasn't working out for me and that means it wasn't working out for you. My friend Lee Wonnacott put a ton of time doing the original design but his eyes are better than mine.
This is quite probably the last year I will be doing the website. I feel kind of like Tom Landry of the Dallas Cowboys in that I have been the only webmaster of the site since its inception. It will be hard to pass it on but some things can't be helped. Rest assured I will find some one to take over that has the passion and dedication that CMS fans deserve. The photo booth concession is also for sale. Email me. One last note for faithful readers. I appreciate the notes and steady 'conversations' from my steady emailers. You will always be in my thoughts.
