  • WTG Punta Gorda Speedway!

    This weekend has been so carefully planned to honor Jack Smith, the man who dedicated his life to stock car racing.
    Kevin put so much work into making everyone comfortable for the weekend and to bring us so many kinds of race cars, including kids in cardboard boxes! Thank you Jessica for taking such good care of the "kids"... Alot of hard work and dedication!Kevin rented bush hogs to make room for the campers, rented 2 extra port-o- potties and camping was free!.
    Even though our grandstands only cost $10 to get in there was an added cost reduction. 3 day passes $25.00. Where else can anyone go camping and see 3 days of good hard racing for $25?
    PGS looks so clean and beautiful. I commend everyone who makes that happen.
    This weekend wasnt about money. NO ONE made money. Kathy Smith was there to honor her husband and her biggest dream was to start the race! She bravely climbed the flagstand and made that dream come tru.
    There is another person I want to thank for so many acts of kindness to Kathy. Phil Ellis! He was so attentive and helped her thru everything. was like a mother hen... Thank you Phil because Kathy was somewhat overwhelmed.
    I have never been prouder of our race track as I was last night. They honored Jack the way he would have wanted. Jack was a simple man who did things out of passion more than money. Same with Kevin. 100 people buying a ticket at $10 is only $1,000... just about pays for the lights. ;-)
    Thank you to all the people who made this weekend so special. I miss my friend and I am so happy he was honored in HIS way. Jack loved the OWM and they gave him a worthy show! LOVE U OWM DRIVERS and thank you so much for traveling so far to make this special race REALLY special... Even Mr. Excitement Jimmy Cope was out back with Patrick Williams. Nice surprise!
    Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome back. The hugs were worth everything! OH... and thank you to Wayne & Laurie Andersons young son Ricky for fishing all night with Bobby. He was in hog heaven. 2 11 Yr. olds doing what they love most.
    Thank you Kevin and all the hard working staff at PGS!
    Love u all...
    Oh.... Jim Higginbotham and Virginia. LOVE YOU and thank you for coming so far to honor Jack. Was a highlight of the night for me to see you again!
