There was a gaggle of racefans at Ona Speedway last weekend
for the Midway Ford 200 – 558 people, to be more precise!
There was a lot of activity both on and off the track.
Longtime flagman JR Tooley died April 7, and drivers and
fans collected $971 for his family to help with all the expenses. JR was a
terrific guy and taught me how to drop the flag for races. It’s not as simple
as you think it might be, and I was happy to learn from him.
When I locate the photo of me dropping the green at Ona Speedway, I'll post that one, too.

I’m sorry I missed Wolfy, the mascot of 96.1 The Wolf radio.
I love costumed characters. Ask my Race Peeps! I see a costume, I’m running
over to them camera in hand! I have photos of me with Lug Nut, me with the
Stewart’s Hot Dog, me with the TUMS Taco, me with the Chick-fil-A Cow, me with
each of the Red, Yellow and Green M&Ms, me with, well, you get the idea.
Since I was in meetings all day and evening Saturday at
Stonewall Jackson Resort with West Virginia Lions, I also missed the Barbie Car. Alaina Harvey – regular
attendees to Ona Speedway know her name – decked out her car in a Barbie theme
and finished third in the V6 race.GIRL POWER!
