Twisted Thoughts w/ Mike Twist
A TAYLOR MADE VICTORY
Sports are all about emotions. Good storylines and personable characters stir those
emotions and capture the hearts of fans.
One of the best storylines in sports comes when a seemingly endless wait concludes
with a major victory. The Boston Red Sox winning the 2004 World Series after an 86-
year drought, Dale Earnhardt winning the 1998 Daytona 500 in his 20 th attempt and the
New York Islanders hoisting the Stanley Cup and ending rivals’ toxic chants of “1940!”
after over half a century passed between titles are all great examples of this type of
storyline.
In Maine racing, we had a great history making moment take place in late August. That
was when 57-year-old Fairfield resident Jeff Taylor broke through after 28 attempts to
win the Oxford 250....

PRESIDENT'S CORNER
MVRCA President Ken Minott
Welcome
In order for MVRCA to succeed, we need new people – not just as members, but people to get involved and help. The expression “many hands make light work” holds true in this case as well. Even if you’re only able to help for just one event or appearance, we encourage you to take the leap and contact us. We’re looking for Class A truck drivers, electricians, and carpenters to help with our mobile museum. We’re looking for people to help catalog and categorize thousands of photos and artifacts. And, we are looking for people to help us at the increasing number of public appearances to greet fans and set up displays. My philosophy has always been to find good people and then find a place where they fit best. Whether you were involved in motorsports, are currently involved in motorsports, or have loved motorsports from the stands, there is a place for you in MVRCA. I encourage you to contact me today at kmwiscassetspeedway.com and find out how and where to get involved. Thank you all, and I look forward to getting to work!
