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!
– Ken Minott
