October Monthly Meeting
Our first meeting of the year was held on October 19, 2002. Our guest speaker for the night was Kevin Feeney, AVSS & USAC Sprint car driver.
Kevin talked about how he got started in racing first in quarter midgets and then in sprint cars. His Mom & Dad were the biggest supporters he had in the early years. Now he drives for Jim & Nancy Hanks and they have run some USAC races, won a few features in AVSS and have set a new track record for Salem Speedway at 14.499. Now that fast!
In 2003 Kevin hopes to continue to run well in both AVSS and USAC. Kevin in his spare time also does many charity fundraisers for kids. He thanked his wife and family for all of their support through out his career.
Bob Capps of Kart 2 Kart also showed us the new track configuration, giving us the heads up before our November meeting that it was faster and more challenging.
