WHAT. A. WEEK!
Our tractor races on Wednesday were so much fun! We ended up with 14 racers between our stock and mod class. The streets were filled with smiles, engines were loud, laughs were shared and great memories were made. All because of YOU!

We want to thank EVERYONE who helped us set up and tear down, whether you were part of the Horsethief committee, our family/friends, or just simply a great community member lending a hand! It truly takes a team to make this event successful.

Special shoutouts to the following:
-Every racer making this possible!
-All American Custom Apparel and Engraving for our awesome medals.
-Russ Cataldo running his light equipment.
-Julian Turteltaub from J-Roc Entertainment for announcing (along with his wife for helping behind the scenes).
-Lexi and Eric Rogus for helping with brackets to run the races fairly and smoothly.
-Nick Bashline for helping line racers up.
-Tiki Kahle for the equipment.
-Volunteer firefighters for closing the road and filling the barriers.
-Sam Wynkoop for singing the National Anthem and the rest of the Turkey City Boys for the incredible music after the races!

In general - we just want to thank each individual who helped us in any way at all, none of this would be possible without YOU. We truly appreciate it.

This is our second year running the races and we’re extremely happy with our turnout. We can’t wait to be back next year for our third - let’s just keep making this bigger and better!

-Bryce and Tasia Altman
