Posted by Kirk Elliott at 08:39:32 AM
A big thank you to everyone who logged on to RacinBoys.com for coverage throughout the week. It takes a great team of passionate racing enthusiasts to pull this off. Scott and I send out a big thanks to Bryan Gapinski, Scotty Cook, Justin Zoch, Trenton Berry, Austin Krueger, Jeff Nevins, and John Lee for all their hard work. Also, a big thanks to Gateway International Raceway General Manager Lenny Batycki for calling a few of Saturday afternoon's alphabet soup races.
To our great title sponsors, Manzanita Speedway, Enlyten--proud sponsors of Vision Racing and Tanner Berryhill's ASA Team, Guy's Snacks, Aspen Products, and Kansas Speedway. And to our associate sponsors, National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Rod End Supply, Gateway International Raceway, and Springfield Raceway and Hoffman Race Cars.
Most of All, a huge tip of the hat to our web master Eugene Fang of Liberty IT Solutions, who worked his magic all week long keeping this web site up and going from the onslaught of heavy click loads.
This year's listening audience more than doubled from last year, which placed a huge strain on our web site. We apologize to those of you who had difficulty logging on. Prior to next year's Chili Bowl, we will take steps to upgrade our server to meet the heavy demands. the numbers of listeners to this year's event were simply mind boggling, which is a testament to the popularity the Chili Bowl has attained.
Check out all the videos, John Lee's photos on the gallery, and listen to all the week's features events on the podcast section of the home page.
A big Thank You to event promoters Emmett Hahn and Lanny Edwards for giving RacinBoys the opportunity to be a part of this great mid-winter happening. As always, it was a fun-filled week, and we look forward to the 2010 Chili Bowl!
