POSTED 10-13-08 THANKS TO CINDY PIKE AND FAMILY FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY!

First, I would like to thank Cindy Pike, owner of the Sportsdrome Speedway along with her brother and family. Cindy was a very nice person to met. I feel I have a new group of friends to add to my list. The track was very easy to get around and I took a lot of photos. I got to meet the track photographer and she was very kind. I have a link to their race track on my side bar, so please check them out. Again, thanks Cindy and I hope you all the luck in the world! Odell Turner

POSTED 10-27-07 THANK YOU DALLAS AND ALFREDA JONES

This couple needs no introduction. But I will tell who they are just in case someone doesn't know. Dallas and Alfreda Jones. I know some will say that I am kissing up but that is not the case. I would like to say that I really appreciate not only Dallas and Alfreda, but the entire Jones Family. They have invested their money in Beech Bend and by doing so I have had the pleasure of Racing my own cars, my wife (Margaret), son (Jason), Dad (James), Uncle (Aubrey), two first cousins (Scott & Kevin), two second cousins(Harvey & Randy) and Nephew (Corey) have raced at Beech Bend. I have been to Drag Racing Events, Many Harley Drags, and have been to the park to ride rides like the Kentucky Rumbler, hear the Country Music Show and etc. I was the Track photographer 4 years for Dallas and have missed only one year (The first year Dallas started) of Stock Car racing since Dallas bought Beech Bend. My Uncle was a flagman for a while at BBR. Over the years I feel I have had the pleasure to gain new friends by knowing the Jones Family. So on behalf of most of the Stock Car Racers I know I can say from our hearts, Thank you Dallas and Alfreda. Odell & Margaret Turner and all the Beech Bend Stock Car Racers.
