    Smile First Win Award

    Four New Winners in 1 weekend!!! SAM_1436.jpg

    It took a year before we gave our first plaque to Aaron, then 6 more months before Jerry won his first race. Now we are having 4 new winners in a SINGLE weekend. As I signed the checks, I asked myself "Why didn't you limit it to 1 per family?", "Why didn't you exclude Australians?" and "Why are Mustang drivers even eligible?"

    Congratulations to Sam, Jay, Craig and Kevin

    Who is next?

    Hey Dan, this is a great award and very much appreciated. Rather than excluding Australians we can now consider this an international award in the CMC World Series. It works for baseball...

    Thanks Dan! Things like this are why I think this group is the best out there. It's not just about having an award and getting money, but it shows the kind of things this group is willing to do for each other. We have everything from prize money for a first win to everyone chipping to work on someones car to ensure they can get back out on track.

    The camaraderie is what attracted me to this series first, the racing, type of car, and cost came later. The first time I was at TWS for a DE I was wondering around the paddock checking out cars and saw at least five people helping someone work on their car in the garages between races. During the course of the weekend I didn't see that with any other group, and that's pretty much when I decided that if I ever got into racing it would be CMC/AI. I think things like that and awards/gestures like Dan's will do more for attracting racers than any rule change ever will.

    The award alone is amazing enough. Add to it that there are 4 recipients in a single weekend is down right astounding. When did that ever happen in one of the other classes?
    I congratulate all the winners as they surely earned it, and I congratulate Dan for stepping up and offering this award.

    Thanks Dan! This is a very generous and awesome thing for you to do. It will be going on the wall in my office.

    We may need one more for my son in about 16 years... Maybe we can be the first 3 generation winners.
