Any additional comments or shout-outs?  First of all, I would like to thank Bob Gilbertson with Team Trick Tank. Without him I wouldn’t have made it to all the races to get here. All of our sponsors were a big help this year. Redline Oils, Fly Racing, Terminator Motorsports, Motosport. All my friends and family that showed support. Thanks.
