I'd like to start of by thanking all of the race directors for helping me get the 2008 schedule of events together so quickly. We have a great series of events lined for the 2008 season, including two new events at two new venues, Banner Lakes at Summerset State Park and Lake Ahquabi State Park, both near Indianola, IA. We will also be doing a joint effort with two other series. The first being the I-74 Homegrown Series Sylvan Island Stampede IV at Sylvan Island in Moline, IL. The second one being a part of the Nebraska Psycowpath Series which is held at Lewis and Clark Monument in Council Bluffs, IA.
