Speedway Surprise

This is Sara - guest blogging on our family blog...just wanted to post some news about Tim while he isn't hogging the computer :). This past Saturday, Tim was honored at the Estevan Motor Speedway Banquet for his volunteering and contribution to the speedway. If you know Tim at all you will know that he is
very passionate about racing, race cars and racetracks. He often, when planning trips with his brother, will include a stop at a new track or at a museum dedicated to cars and racing. He may even have talked his wife and kids into riding around the track with him at Indianapolis several years ago. :)  So when the track president came and told me he was being honored it was fun to surprise him with the 2014 Clint Prette Memorial Award, a visit from his entire family from Moose Jaw and some local friends too. This was the first time the award had been given to a 'non-driver' and so it was a really nice honor.  As usual Tim was really humbled by the whole thing and really felt like there were lots of people who had been out there working hard for longer than he had.  Tim flags the staging lane, conducts the pit meeting for all the drivers, and says the prayer to start the races. I am just super proud of him for getting involved in his community and being so willing to help out with anything out at the track. Congrats honey...and so glad we got to keep it a surprise until the night of the award....it was no small feat. Thanks family and friends who joined us to celebrate.
