End Of Season Thank You From Your Fan

#1fan · 10-26-2005, 10:46 AM

As the season ends I need to thank many people for the wonderful season we had:
Desert Steel Motorsports: Thank you for the hundreds of hours and thousands of $$$ you put into building us a fantastic race site and a safe place to practice.
Mike Follmer: For the Mark Hahn Memorial. The most moving and emotional race ever.
Redinger Family: For allowing me to spend time with Region 3 and David.
Region 2: For allowing me to speak to the racers before the race by speaker phone in Benicia. I will never forgot your kindness.
Francisco Pita and Yves VanHeers: For allowing me to see Portugal and the European Racing Progam first hand and attending to my every need.
Andy and Andrea Mayne: Who made my trip to London and Portugal so filled with love and joy that I will never be able to thank them.
James Goodchild and "The Gigilo": Thanks for taking care of me in Europe.
Lisa and Scott Schnieder: Thanks for your friendship
Ross Wallach: For The Avi race that never happened. PLEASE don't give up on us or that venue. We need you in our sport very much.
All Regional Promoters: Without you there is no racing. PERIOD. We must have regional races in order to have any racing at all. I know it is time consuming and expensive but please don't abandon us.
StickerPimp: Thanks for putting up with all my pissing and moaning about how old and falling apart I am!
All The Racers: Thank you for letting me be your fan!

On the contrary Nedra, thank YOU. Even though I've not met you yet, I've read your posts and I can honestly say that I've never known anyone as devoted to any one sport as you. There are people that have their favorites in a sport, for example, NASCAR fans. But only favor a certian driver. You, however, are a TRUE fan in every sense of the word. ALL are your favorites. Win or lose. I admire that.

So again, thank you for being our #1 Fan!

number 1 fan is an understatement for nedra. I guarantee any jetski trivia that anyone can think of, nedra knows the answer. We need more people like her in this sport.

Thanks for coming to see me days before the event always a treat.

It was my first Havasu this year & it was a pleasure to meet you Nedra. If I hadn't met you, I'd have just thought you were some cooky lady running around with a cowbell.

You're the best Nedra!!

Heh... tell that to the coo-koo clock she has that's possessed by her mother's spirit. Every time I talk to her on the phone that clock chimes in just at the perfect time.

I love you Nedra and I always will. I want to say a few things about you. Sometimes we don't understand the impact we have on other people.
Here's how you've impacted my life in 2000. I had lost my dad and at The Worlds I was alternating between being numb and being an emotional wreck. I don't know if you knew how much I needed you that year, but I am so grateful that you were on the beach supporting me and coaching me More importantly you are a constant reminder of the real reason that I stay involved in this sport. You love the people in this sport. You are witness to all our triumphs and all of the ignominous defeats that we endure. You watch our suffering and injuries and you're their to keep our heads up even when our spirits feel low. You remind us that greatness isn't a medal or a place it's who we are being and our actions in those high and low moments. It's that you love us for pushing ourselves far beyond what we think we can do and for having the courage to fail or win. I love your soul and how giving you are. You standing there before the staff gets in place and you're standing there often after they leave. Time is a precious thing and I am humbled that you believe your time is best spent with us, and for that my very dear friend I thank you. Long after you and I are gone, your generosity and the of your bell will live on. Love dawn.
