Hi Gang,
I thought I would start a new place for all the news on the Nanook team.
The first bit of news; as of today I am the new driver for the Nanook AA/FA. Dave Hough and family are all behind getting me to drive for them. To say I am excited would be the understatement of the year!!!
I will put some of the details in here later. Right now I am just to pumped up to type.
Thanks to all my friends who have been behind me and my driving career. You don't know how much it means to have all my friends in my corner.
Rapid
Here is the actual Driver Announcement:
2008 NANOOK RACING NEWS
Dave and Linda Hough along with the rest of the Nanook Racing Team would like to welcome our new driver “Rapid” Randy Baker to the team. We are a very close knit racing family so it was imperative that we found a driver who would fit in with our program, which is beginning its 43rd year. We all travel together and having met and raced against Randy and Laura we knew they would be a great addition to our team.
Driving a Nostalgia Fuel Altered isn’t for just anyone. Randy has proven in his racing history that he can get the car to the other end under power. He is known not to give up on the run if, or rather when, the car gets loose at any point in the track, we all know that is just the nature of the beast. That was one of the important things we were looking for in a driver. We also felt it was important to have someone who was familiar with Nostalgia racing and who understood our goals as a team. When I learned Rapid had became available on a full time basis; we held a family meeting and unanimously agreed Rapid was the one we were looking for. Also, Rick’s brother-in-law, Vince Generalao, will share driving duties where there is a schedule conflict with Rapid.
We are currently filling out our 2008 schedule of events. Please come out and help us welcome Randy and Laura Baker to our racing team. There will be team info and a racing schedule available on the web at www.rapidrandy.com as the racing season progresses.
See you at the races,
Dave, Linda, Rick and Gloria Hough
