It would be impossible for me to calculate how many hours I’ve put into doing this site plus the expense too. I’ve had some help along the way, so I’ll say thank you to my daughter for the help right at the beginning and the media applications she’s done for me. John for the countless number of photographs he’s taken. Of course thank you to all of you who have been reading Sportscar Racing News.
