2009 is here! Can May be far behind?

January 14, 2009

Plans are well under way for May 21st when C&B 2009 will commence. Our 8th year is expected to again be one for the record books as we ignore the bad economy with talk of racing and seeing old friends once again. Yes, there will be beer there too.

Here is the Wrap up for 2008 and stay tuned for upcoming information about how planning is progressing for 2009!
 

Thanks from Camp and Brew!

Well, the annual event is over once again, and we've begun our long countdown to C&B 2009!

We've just finished consolidating all the generous we donations for Brian's Wish, and we are very pleased to announce that we have a new donation record of $5,350 for Brian's Wish!

We certainly could not do that without the overwhelming generosity of the many people who support our event by donating in person, donating at our website, or from participating in our online 50-50 race pools!

It takes quite a bit of help to put on this event each year. We would like to thank the following folks for their various help in another successful event. In no particular order:

• The family and friends of Brian Hall

• Eads Graphics

• Trackside Online

• Friends from TrackForum

  • Roach

  • rrrr

  • Turn13

• The Speedway Police Department

• All the people, anonymous and otherwise, who generated over 870,000 hits to our webcams!

In a bit of very sad news, we found out that our good friend Miles "Mackie" Nelson died just after returning home after the race. He has been a fixture of C&B since at least our second year in 2003. You can read more about Miles here, and see pictures of him here. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Miles' family at this very difficult time and we plan to honor him as the Mayor of Georgetown Road in memoriam at C&B 2009.
