I had a chance to sit down and talk to Tom Curley about short track racing and get his thoughts on the Midwest Tech Seminar and Promoters Workshop held on Saturday, March 14, 2009.

I recently had an opportunity to interview Bryan Reffner. We discussed what he has been up to, his plans on returing to super late model racing in the ASA Midwest Tour, and also talked about some of his favorite tracks.

RACINGONLINE.COM STARTS THE NEW YEAR UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

By: Kevin Ramsell
PORTAGE, WI (Saturday, January 10, 2009) - The well known racing website www.racingonline.com was sold to ROL Marketing Partners, LLC on Wednesday, January 7, 2009. The website was previously owned by its creator Jeffrey Sachse.

Sachse created the website in the mid 1990s as a central location for the racing community to be linked to a majority of Wisconsin racetracks. As a one man operation, Sachse created the first websites for many of the tracks. Today, each racetrack, not only in Wisconsin but across the world, values the internet as a key marketing tool in promoting their track.

Fan Club celebrates at Oktoberfest

This past weekend Kevin celebrated the one year anniversary of kevinramsell.com. But he didn’t have time to celebrate as he was busy documenting the 39th Annual Oktoberfest Race Weekend at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway in West Salem, WI.

On Friday, Kevin got a surprise from Walt Lofquist as he waved to Kevin in the tower then displayed a sign that his daughter Anna spent close to two hours making. “I was surprised and turned red in the face,” Ramsell stated. “I never expected that to happen."

As Kevin was amazed, he was also humbled by what the back of the sign read, “Well, one is better than none.”
