Well our 2009 racing season has officially started. We made the two and a half hour haul out to Trailways Speedway in Hanover Pa. on Saturday March 21, 2009. The season started off great with Billy and Gary picking pill number one at sign ins. Putting Billy on the pole for the first heat race. With one short 4 lap practice to shake the car down and get the rust out, Billy set out on the pole for the first heat race and took the lead on the green flag and went the distance to grab the checkered and his first heat race win of the season. Congrats to Billy. There were 49, 600’s signed it at trailways for their second race weekend of the season. They redrew for lineups for the feature putting us in the 7th starting position of 24 cars in the feature. This is the first time for Billy with the new rear sway in the car this year. The Hunter’s CARSTAR number 7h started off strong holding its position and then billy said it started to push. He was able to hold on and finished 11th for his first race of the new year. We were encouraged by the performance of the car right out of the hauler and look forward to the rest of the season. Hopefully the warm weather will stay with us this spring. Back at you next week

Wow,  Where do I begin and how do I say thanks to all those that supported us last weekend.
I wanted to thank everyone involved in the First ever "Racing for a Cure", Meet and Greet Show and Fundraiser at the Granite Run Mall in Media Pa. on March 7 & 8, 2009 show that helped make it a huge success. It's been over 4 years since the cars of Bridgeport Speedway have invaded the Granite Run Mall. I wanted to send a special thanks to Jessica James and the Bridgeport Speedway management team for allowing me to host this event for the benefit of the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation, "The Meso Foundation is the national non-profit dedicated to ending the suffering caused by Mesothelioma" at www.CureMeso.org and my Racing for a Cure fundraising drive this year at www.BillThomasRacing.com/RacingforaCure . To also thank my family and all the Race Teams involved in the show, and the many fans that visited & supported my cause at the Mall. Thanks to all the race teams and vendors that donated items for the Chinese auction table and those that made donations directly to the Foundation. The donations are still coming in and we have raised over $1,3450.00 to date so far for the Meso Foundation in their effort to fund research to find a cure for Mesothelioma. The Meso Foundation is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501 © 3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Their Tax ID and Employer Identification Number is 75-2816066.
