We also pulled for two free tickets to this weekends Snowball Derby….and the winner is…Kevin Ryan!! Way to celebrate his birthday for the weekend!

Dave Pavolck with the Pensacola Motor Sports was our guest speaker. He shared some great information on the history of the local Five Flags Speedway and how racing started. Amazing they used to drive their own personal vehicles at the beginning! We were also able to hear Robbie give a little of how it feels to be at a race! Excellent proformance!!

We were also lucky to have two yound drivers who have hopes of making it to Nascar one day! Ryan and Johanna were able to give us more background on how you get involved, how much money and time it takes! Hopefully to see them in Nascar soon!
