How do I begin to thank Bobby Seymour of Race Depot and First Turn Racing, Terry Eames of Waterford Speedbowl and Tom Fox the Director of Operations at Waterford who hung with us all day. HOW? How do I thank all the volunteers who made the day possible, not only possible but made it an AMAZING day and to operate as smoothly as it did? How do I thank Norm Marx with all his photo taking so we all have memories of the day?
.
This is where I begin; posting it on the internet. I don't have everyone's names, addresses or emails. What I can say is that as a mom, a promoter of the event I was humbled by the thanks, the smiles and the way to go attitudes that surrounded me. I can't begin to thank everyone, especially the drivers that committed to coming and actually showed. Many with no deposits required, hell we barely had time to pull it together. 
.
I am pleased to say this will be an annual event and if possible we will do it more often, perhaps Spring and Fall. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. 
.
Lastly as my son Anthony strapped me into the Mikitarian #9 with me in his suit & helmet and, embracing Shane's racing gloves, I entered the track and someone else took over. I just drove like, I knew what to do, it was incredible. Don't ever drive faster than your angel can fly.....but my angel is a speed demon and I came off the track with a new appreciation of life, speed, racing & love. 
.
God Bless all of you.

Test Drive a Midget: First Annual
Shane Hammond Driving School
Set for Oct. 12th at Waterford
The Shane Hammond Believe Foundation, in conjunction with the First Turn Driving Experience, is proud to announce the first annual Shane Hammond Driving School is set to take place at Waterford Speedbowl on Monday, October 12th. The School will not only give drivers, young and old, the ability to try their hand at driving a full size NEMA midget, with a Ford Focus engine, at one of New England’s premier Open Wheel facilities, but also learn from some of the best Open Wheel drivers in the Country.

The Shane Hammond foundation was founded after Hammond’s tragic and untimely death at the Thompson Speedway Icebreaker in April of 2008. Deb Marvuglio, Hammond’s mother, and the driving force behind the Foundation, started the effort with two primary concepts in mind – first to assist drivers wishing to learn the ranks of Open Wheel racing through a proper learning experience, and second – to invest in the safety of today’s Open Wheel racers.

Part of Marvuglio’s vision was to set up a formalized driving school, and there was no better choice of partner than Bobby Seymour of Seymour Enterprises and the First Turn Driving Experience – a professional Open Wheel driving school for up and coming racers. Together, they hope that the first annual event on October 12th will both assist new & curious drivers how to properly and safely handle & set up an Open Wheel race car.

“This is an excellent learning experience, and for an excellent cause,” states Seymour. “For a relatively small investment, an interested racer can try their hand at driving a full size midget, and gain valuable experience from a number of experienced drivers. They will walk away from this experience knowing whether this is truly something they would like to do or not,” commented Seymour.

Pricing for the school starts at $395 and proceeds will benefit the Foundation. For more information, contact Bobby Seymour at 508-485-5605, info@theracedepot.com or Deb Marvuglio, shanebelieve@comcast.net.
