CONGRATULATIONS! To our girl, Racin Rachel.

Story and photos by Terry Young

  Temperatures were hot in Central Illinois over the weekend... but not nearly as hot as they soared when MidwestRacin.com hostess Racin' Rachel rolled into the Land of Lincoln for a visit to the 2009 edition of the 4 Wheel Drive Jamboree at the Illinois State Fairgrounds.

   The highlight of the event is always the fan favorite bikini contest which is held on the last day of the event. Eight contestants, all award winners in their own right entered the competition; but it was our very own Racin' Rachel who was the crowd favorite as well as the favorite of the judges. Due in large part to her natural beauty and flawless complexion, Rachel was crowned the Queen of the 2009 4 Wheel Jamboree!

Did someone say "Advertising"?

   Yes, our efforts here to bring you our unique look at racing in the Midwest are supported totally by advertising revenues. I wanted to call your attention to the advertising section you can visit by clicking the speed shot of Johnny Murphree above. As you will see we have many different opportunities for you to get your business/product info out there in the fast lane. We can even make it possible to get your logo on my suit when I do public appearances, in photographs, and head for the track. You need to hurry, summer is coming and the available space on my suit will be getting smaller.     

 

   On March 30th Peoria racers and fans all took the green flag at Mickie's Pizzeria in North Pekin for their 6th annual benefit for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation The Circles of Hope. They exceeded their goal of 500 pizzas in 5 hours. I LOVE Mickie's Pizza almost as much as I love these kids with disabilities. Thanks to the great folks at Mickie's for their wonderful dedication to these kids and to all you great racers who got the job done. Thank you for inviting me to join you for the day, I loved meeting all of you and will see everyone at the track real soon.

  If we can help or promote your charity events please drop me a note at  crtrc1@aol.com  I would like to hear from everyone.

More About Rachel

    Having Rachel around is going to be a lot of fun to say the least, plus she does a great job. Her online Midwest Racin Blog and Chat Room will be up and running as the season gets closer and much more more exciting new features and projects on the way already. Rachel is here, and we think you will like knowing her.

   Some of you have asked me, "Is she real?" We can assure you that she is very real. Rachel is extremely beautiful, very down to earth, and a real sweetheart. She is an early 20's young lady who is actually from right here in Central Illinois. She is very anxious to hit the tracks and get the season rolling. We will be visiting with more area racers soon. Don't hesitate to drop Rachel a note at crtrc1@aol.com. She has promised that if she doesn't know your answer she will find it for you if at all possible.

   Rachel already is a very big part of this publication and we are really glad to have her as part of our team. Ted
