UPDATE AFTER FINAL POINTS RACE Oct 5, 2008

The season final results and standings have been updated. Congratulations to all the class winners! You can click on the "2008 Race/Points Results" link to see the results. Also, data has been uploaded to MyLaps.com and you can view that as well.

We would like to thank all the racers and their families for joining us this year. There were many exciting races and we believe the club, as a whole, made great strides in improving the racing environment, where we all can come and pursue our passion for motorsports.

We would also like to thank all of our Raceday sponsors for their support. Without them, a lot of this would not be possible. Please patronize the companies listed on the left, whenever you are in need of services they offer.

Again, thanks to all the HRKC members for supporting the club this year. You are the reason that we are here.

Lots of Photos Available from Club Photographer

Bruce and Kaye Albin of PICYER Photos are the HRKC official photographers, and they have literally thousands of photos taken from this past racing season. They were at most of the events, including the Turkey race on Oct 26, and have compiled a collection of some impressive shots. Everyone is sure to find numerous pictures of their favorite driver. You can visit their web site to view and purchase all sizes of photos, by clicking on the PYP logo to the left or by clicking on the following link:

Bruce and Kaye spent a lot of their time at the track with us this year, so support them by picking up a few pics from their site. The prices are extremely reasonable and the buyer experience online is easy.

HRKC LOGO CONTEST

The club is still accepting entries for consideration on a new club logo to be used starting in 2009. If you have some creative ideas, please get them together and forward  your entry to Susan Mitchell at hisgirlfriday@cox.net

Please keep the design simple (not too busy) so that it works well for use on T-shirts, hats, etc.
