Upstate South Carolina

If you are going to be voting here in South Carolina in any election process you may now have to show a picture ID. Some are screaming that this could hinder the minorities from voting, but I have yet to understand how this became a black versus white issue or did I miss something. To often race is applied to many situation where there really is no cause for it.  Maybe it is just me but I too am a minority. I make less than $15,000 a year and have no problem getting a photo ID especially now since they will become free for each of us citizens of South Carolina.

People are starting to really show their state spirit by wearing and using state stamped merchandise. Order you a
South Carolina State Quarter  Stein

or South Carolina State Quarter Sweatshirt

I have about 6 different types of shirts that I wear all over the place just to show how much my state means to me. We actually have a Governor in office whom is trying to make things better. Just because you hit a few bumps in the road, does not mean you should give up. 

South Carolina has been my home most of my life. I would not want to live anywhere else, except may a fantastic island of my own. Until then, I will be just fine right here.

Today was such a great day for the first practice of the season at TR Speedway in Travelers Rest, South Carolina. The weather could not have been any better for the many fans who showed up to watch there drivers. Personally I knew there would be a load of people there due to the temperatures and sunshine outside.

To all the many drivers who showed up with there cars, I think you all looked great out there. Some new cars, new bodies, new drivers and older drivers a like look to be very competative this 2009 season. The first race will be February 28th at TR Speedway, gates opening at 12 noon and racing starting at 2pm. Good luck to all the drivers in 2009.

Tomorrow February 21st starting at 2pm, is the first practice of the season at TR Speedway in Travelers Rest South Carolina. Our car is not ready yet but we will be there sitting in the stands in support of the other drivers (also to get a good view of who we can expect to see this season ).  The very first race of the year will be held February 28th (next Saturday) and again we will not be ready. We had not planned on starting until the end of March or first of April when the points races actually begin. Racing season is starting back up, so you will see extra post’s right here on each race we are able to attend.
