THANK YOU ART!

 

Wow, what a year. I want to thank everyone in the Golden Eagle family! Where do I begin:

Sindicate Racing : Michael and Adam, you guys are some of the most dedicated racers I know. Best of luck in 06' and I hope to be able to help you get your car faster!!!

Cloyse Holland : To all the Cloyses!!! What an impressive show you guys put on. Congrats on the low ET's earlier this year and for your performance at Pomona. Hopefully next year we will see more of you guys on the NHRA circuit! Thanks for the support!!!

Stephanie Eggum : What is this bracket racing??? Multiple 8.40's on a stock tranny! Always putting up a great fight, always performing WAY above par and keeping a level head. SOMEONE GIVE THIS GIRL SOME $ SO SHE CAN KEEP RACING AND RESPRESENTING THE HONDA CROWD!!!!! If anyone deserves some good backing to keep the program alive, it's you. I will always be here to help out with whatever I can and hope to see you next year with some sponsors! What you, your father and Jeromie are doing is insane, and I think it would be in any company's best interest to bring you on board and support your racing career!!! Best of luck with everything!!!

Skunk2 : WOW, that is the only word to descibe you guys. A 9.63 at over 140!!! I am in awe!!! That is just amazing what you are doing. I am honored to be a part of your program and look forward to helping you out for many years to come!!

Chris Dye : The man, the myth, the Wally winner again in street stock. Your car, your program and your performance is top notch. Keep up the excellent racing!!!

John Ferguson : You and James really know how to get things done. Bets of luck with your new adventures in 2006. I am confident that both of you will do very well. Thanks for the support this year, and I hope to work with you again in 06!!

Cortney Green : 9.89!!!! Damn, that car is moving!! Great weekend of racing. Hope that you come out again in 06 as strong or stronger to give that class something to chase!!!

Jason Hunt : I know you were only in the Saturn for a little while, but you did extremely well and represented to the best of your ability. Plus, your CRX and Coupe are the ones to catch in Sport FWD, so that helps also. Thank you for the many years of promoting our products and hope for some great things next year!

Eris Del Rosario : I LOVE GOLD!!! Congrats on the 9.1 pass this weekend. Your hard work is paying off and I am glad to be able to help in any way I can. Keep it up!

A special shout out to all the racers and fans that made the 2005 Pomona World Finals the biggest Sport Compact event in the tracks history. Fan and racer counts were at an all time high (we had to cut off ET entries at 230pm on Sat).

I hope this stops all the haters talking trash about west coast events. Remember, it all started in So. Calif.

Thanks again, we are already planning for 2006.

thanks everyone for a good and safe year, also thanks to the fans that supported the races and those who could'nt attend but were on the computer trying to find out results.
Also we had some great moments and some dissapointing but our 8.16 and our 182 mph was great accomplishment considering it was done on low boost 57lbs
we shot for 60 but could'nt get it. So once again thanks to everyone and see all of you in 2006 ready.

 

The Biggest Thanks to James Innes for the opportunity to work with and drive your car for another awesome season. Thanks for putting up with all my crap on and off the track.

Huge thanks to the Justin Humphries and the RaceRedi Motorsports team for the travel assistance to the NDRA Ohio and NHRA Pomona events and congratulations on your (2) National Championships in the 2005 season.
