"the best way to spend a monday night at 7pm....good interviews , racing news,,,,and the antics of the G man"-Ross Belfiore

Thanks to you and your staff for the coverage from Stafford. We appreciate the instant results and is the next best thing to being there. Please keep up the good work. Joe Shivac

Dear Bobby G. I am a member of the Bobby G. fanclub. I am so excited to see my picture - alongside my buddies Bart and Half-Mile Hemingway & yourself on the Front Page of your website. The fact of the matter is: I haven''t seen a Super Modified race since the fifties and I had a great time yesterday down in Toledo. You did a great job announcing. I am glad to have met you. You are an asset to the sport. Seeing those pictures this morning (Bruce told me about your website) brought back the excitement from yesterday. My ears are still ringing. We three old men have decided to make this an annual event! Chuck Clemens

Love the show, you all do an amazing job. Thanks, Kevin Timmins

Hi Bobby, Great interview with Mike Lichty....really got me pumped for the upcoming season. I saw my very first Supermodified Race when I was about 12 and have been addicted ever since! That was back in the 60's when the "Supers" exploded in the London, Ont. area at tracks like Delaware, Nilestown and later Flamboro. Great site! Many thanks, Mike Graham

Thanks for the great shows! Keep it up-that's "Wing Side Up" See you at the reunion! Joe Prevost

First I would like to thank you and your fan base for the opportunity to have been chosen for this prize. I also would like to thank Alan Clark for linking me up with your Facebook page. ~George H. Wagner Jr.

I really like your show,you guys have come a long way in a year,evrything stops here at 7 o clock so I can catch your show. My wife plans dinner around it! I would like anything you send. Looking forward to may 8 at Sandusky. The wail room is fun,I have got to know Tom N and Brent,The Great Pumpkin. We plan to meet at a race this year, pretty cool stuff. Thank you again,Your favorite speed freak. ~Gary Chapin

I thought the webcast was awesome. There were obviously some glitches but that didn’t bother me in the least. It was just great to be able to watch live west coast super racing! And now you are telling I won something, SWEET! ~ Clint Moulton

Great show first time Ive tuned in and I'm loving it. What did I win? :) ~TJ Woolsey

Thank You guys the show is awesome! ~ Ray Sand Jr.

I’ve been a race fan for 55years and this is my 1st year as a super fan and i have totally enjoyed it. The speed , no radios,no mirrors and no passing flag puts it all on the driver. I grew up going to Seekonk and last sat. was my 1st trip there in 25 years it’s gone from being a dump to a really nice track. Both super divisions put on a fantastic show hope they come back next year. Plattsburg,NY was awesome I was disappointed that Woody won until he pulled my # for the 50/50 drawing. That changed my mind in a hurry sure hope they go back there next year. I can’t make Thompson so I’m in countdown mode until next year. Oh ya love your show and listening to you at the tracks. ~ Charlie Williams

Love Supermodifieds, and Wing Side Up! ~ Ben Roberts

Bobby G. love the site! Great that you would take the effort to do this for all of us that love the Supers!!! ~ Jim Pasquin

Hey G-man great job covering the MSA opener at Ace speedway~Mike Soja

I appreciate your consideration and I was on this afternoon. I like what you do and i'm sure the racing guys all like it also. You are the only voice we have and hopefully our fans become aware of this because it's all so positive. Thanks again~Lou Cicconi SR.

We want to thank you very much for the much needed news about our favorite cars. Supermods are the best class of race cars. We''''ve loved them ever since Boyd Showers brought out the first off set car in the 70''''s at the San Jose Speedway. We were hooked ever since. We hope to see you again this race season and hope that our Jeff Russell gets back to good health soon, we miss him. Keep up the great work that you so Bobby!-Kathleen Smith

Thanks for helping to keep the torch lit, Bobby. Your involvement and love of the sport is the spirit needed to keep it growing. Denny from Garfield Heights, OH USA
