After I recived that email at 3 in the morning I was pissed. Many of you that post or just read know who I am and know what type of effort I have put into this goal. I am not saying that the others have not put effort in it as well but it was kinda like WTF. Many of you know that I was not after this goal for fame or glory. I did not care if my name was up in lights. Like many of you I am a pit rat. Started working on pro stocks when I was 15 1/2. Shoot Dutch bought two inline six's off my dad and I sat in the driveway listening to my dad and him telling stories on the back of his tailgate.
But, thinking about so what if I was a so called ORA spy or whatever they what to tag me as. I know some of the most upstanding, truthful, and honest people in the ORA. But, to get that email hurt. Honestly it did Bascially, they were saying that all my efforts were for not because I was hurting the cause.
I kinda feel as if I have let down my childhood heros by not saving the track and having this tag put on me.
If I either hurt or upset anyone in this process I am sorry. I always though what I was doing was for the best.
