Sponsor Update!! The generous people at Dolson Auto & Tire Goodyear have just joined the ranks of our "Multi-year Sponsors"! Not only that, but they've gone from last year's $100 to a new high of $250 this year! I think a business that gives back to their community speaks volumes about where the owner's heart is. Kathy and I have been bringing our vehicles there for service and repairs for over a decade and we never get tired of meeting Marty at the front counter. If you are not fully satisfied with your current mechanic we urge you to give these guys a try. We both fully endorse this company. When you call, ask for Marty and tell him Louisiana Mike sent you. This will be an ice breaker from the start!

"Author's Spotlight" In recognition of authors kind enough to donate their autographed books for Kathy's Team Fistbump to raffle and/or sell at this year's Relay For Life Event on June 8th, in Pine Bush, NY (http://main.acsevents.org/goto/teamfistbump) A heart-felt thank you to author Nancy Quinn (https://www.amazon.com/C.A.-Henry/e/B01FEGS9AM/), for generously gifting six autographed copies of the Winner of the 2018 Will Rogers Medallion Award Bronze Medal: Go West, Young Woman! From Military Wife to Country Life. Speaking to her yesterday, she told me she would say a prayer over each of the books she is sending. This touched my heart more than I can ever put in words, and should give you a little idea of what this wonderful person is all about. We will add one copy to the raffle basket full of autographed books. Five copies will be sitting next to me under our Team Tent for sell! Learn More About Her Incredibly Inspirational Life at: Website: https://nancy442.wixsite.com/quinn FaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nancyquinn0/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3TNSVUacTL7kvh-yzLBSLg Amazon Blurb: Have you ever found a cougar on your swing set or a moose in your driveway? Go West, Young Woman! is the true story of one family's transition from beltway living in metro Washington, D.C. to what they thought would be a "calmer" existence in rural Montana. They soon discover how unprepared they are for the challenges ahead, both comical and adventurous. The humor of their early encounters with cattle and local customs only masks the more ominous confrontations with predators and nature. Through their journey they discover the true meaning of the "code of the West," a concept which has not entirely vanished from the American way of life. Amazon Review: A Heart-Tugging Page Turner Of the First Order!!! 5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely love this book! Nancy is that rare writer who really 'gets it' in that she doesn't try to impress the reader. Hers is pure expression from the heart that is as real, genuine and authentic as she is. I heavily emphasize the words 'from the heart' because Nancy's story is exactly that...from the heart. The reading is so rich that I am now reading it to myself and also, separately, aloud to my wife. She's enjoying the Quinn adventure too! There are just too many moments to single out any one...each page is like a potato chip...you always WANT MORE!!! Still, I'll do my best. There was a part early on where Nancy and her husband, retired Air Force officer, Bill, acknowledge to each other that they were finally going to have a home all their own that they wouldn't have to uproot from. Nancy had never lived in a place more than six years and Bill, being in the military, lived where he was told to live. This was their dream...to have their own home and it was coming to fruition finally! 9/11 had delayed their dreams (like it had for countless others) but finally, there it was...their dream coming true! I was reading this aloud to my wife and darned if my voice cracked and I noticed my eyes wetting up. There seemed to be something in hers too. Nancy is so much more than just another writer who is clever with a phrase. She COMMUNICATES to the heart of the reader with what I call 'word pictures'. Not surprising when you learn that she is a wildlife artist (and from what I've seen of her work...a very good one too). Indeed, her word are extremely sensory rich. Not only that, she draws the reader in even more by sharing his thoughts and emotions even as she's having them...kind of like the lead character narrating in a delicious film noir movie. I'm up to chapter 30 now and I've only been reading for about 3 days! This is unusual for me but it really IS that kind of book! Her adventures with her first horse, 'Belle' had me in stitches! This little horse is gorgeous (Nancy provides a beautiful picture of her) and KNOWS IT!!! She, as one of Nancy's friends said, "thinks she's Queen of the Mountain!" Indeed! To see this battle of wills between her and Nancy (who is truly gifted with animals of all kinds) is worth the price of the book by itself! Although this is delicious reading at any time of the year, it is most especially the kind of book you want to cozy up with on a cold winter's night. This book was good enough for me to give to myself as this year's Christmas gift...which, in fact, is exactly what I did! Nancy, Bill and their daughters are TRULY modern day pioneers. Theirs is the spirit that made this country great! ---- MikeP Please help our team find a cure with a secure online donation at our Relay For Life Team Page: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/teamfistbump #nancyquinn #authorsunitedagainstcancer #kathysteamfistbump #relayforlife #cancersucks

Attention Team Fist Bumpers!! Our team has certainly grown in one year. We have been working on getting a Dunk Tank for our team at the Relay but getting water to the tank was proving a great challenge! Malley Trucking, of Montgomery, NY stepped up to the plate in a big way. Not only did they consider it an honor to bring us the 500 gallons of water, but it will be done at NO CHARGE!! Please show them love the next time you need a trucking company! So, this is a call to arms to the Fist Bump Nation. We will need 3 people, teen or adult, to run the dunking side of things. It comes with 3 special balls to throw at the target. I figure one person to hand the balls to the next thrower, one to retrieve them after they hit the back stop, and one to sit on the magic seat! Actually, anyone can be dunked, whether stranger, members from other teams, or someone from our own team!

This talented young lady’s father got her started racing at the ripe old age of 11! Erin calls Accord Speedway her home track and had TWO Sling-Shot Championships under her belt that prove she is a force to be reckoned with! Erin lost her father to cancer last year so has a special reason to be joining our team. Come out to meet her and get her autograph on June 8th!

If you went to the 2018 Relay For Life Event in Pine Bush, NY you might remember our teammate Jason Armstrong, a rookie driver of #25J. Last night he broke away from rookie racing to join the league of veteran drivers! At one point he had driven from starting in 10th position to 3rd. Let me tell ya, he’s fun to watch and we look forward to following him throughout his career. If you haven’t ever been to Orange County Speedway I think it’s time you gather the family and drive out there for some good, quality, family time. #supportyourlocalracetrack #jasonarmstrong25j #teamfistbump
