Racerpix Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Carol, Thanks for posting to let everyone know what the current situation is. In the years that Donnie and yourself have owned the track there have been many improvements and knowing Doc, I'm certain he will continue to improve racing here in Corpus Christi. We wish Donnie all the best with his health problems. Our prayers are with you all at this time, please keep us posted on how things are going. If anything is ever needed I know that there is an entire racing community here in south Texas that will never forget the Yocums and all they have done.

MadRacing19 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 W.O.W Looks like the rumors were true . Finally the truth !Now that the truth is out I hope Owen lives up to the reputation he has as being a fair honest person .I think things will work out for everyone racing at the track . The real question is how fair will it be if Doc races ? Will the rules apply to him as well others ? Or to the cars he sponsors ? Lets have a good season .

tylanic Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Donnie and Carol, I just wanted to say it has been a pleasure working for you over the past several years. I started out at the track watching my husband race. Then I was offered a scorekeeping job which was a good thing, it was stressful watching him out there racing. LOL Keeping score I couldn't watch him, had to watch them all. Boy, I didn't know what stress was until I became head scorekeeper but I enjoyed it every Sat. night. I got to meet a whole bunch of very nice drivers, fans and employees. I thank you for the opportunity to work for you, without it I would not have met and made so many friends. Get well Donnie so you can Carol can enjoy your much needed retirement. Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
