Nice touch Robbie and thanks to all of the Speedway 660 Race Team Moms!It’s time to start rolling all of our cars out on the track for the pre-race autograph session. There’s still more to come. Wow, that’s some gaggle of cars and a bunch of happy fans!  Race teams brought all kinds of “goodies” for the kids. BTW that tall kid in blue is Braxton Stafford. He’s an awesome young Sportsman driver who travels to Speedway 660 from Blackville to put on a show for our fans every week. When you retire as a Pro Stock driver you just might get to run one of these “eight-wheelers” at Speedway 660. Hey Brian, do you need a little more wedge in your stroller? Hey is that the Speedway 660 moose? We’ve been lookin for you all season long. Looks like Wanda Campbell, our Office Manager, took a stroll in the Geary Woods and used her moose call to finally get our favourite “Swamp Donkey” to come see us! Lonnie Sommerville sure signed a lot of autographs.
