Thanks for a great '03 season! But......

[GMS1000]

I'm not gonna be racing in '04. I'm trying to start a new trucking business this spring and unfortunately, I won't have the time to race.
It's really a tuff decision for me, considering the season we had. plus I know I havn't reached my full potential seeing that I knocked atleast 1 sec. off my lap time every race weekend, but it's something I need to do. So, I'd like to thank all of NESR for making it so easy, Mike (Collision Pros) for painting the bike, Jay and Cheryl for letting us crash at the crib, Bob for his air, and especially Derrick for inviting me on the team. THANKS!!!!

Who knows, maybe I'll come back in '07 and go for the Formula 40 Title.....

Als, thanks to Peter Kates(GMD Computrac) and Eric Wood (WOODCRAFT), for such a crappy bike. Just kidding, it was pretty easy goin fast on that bike. I'd also like to thank Erics mom for putting up with all the phone calls........

peace

sorry to hear about having to give up the racing (... for now), it was always a true pleasure watching do your voodoo out on the track.

good luck w/ the new business, tho... mebbe if it takes off right away, you can semi-retire & let it support you while you race...

[Stoneman]

I was a little more than shocked when I first heard this, Gary. But I fully understand they 'why's & how's' of this, and I wish you the best of luck. And don't ever be a stranger to us...

MAN HUG!!!

[scootertrash]

Wow...I don't know what to say. We're gonna miss you Gary. I can understand why you are doing it and wish you the best of luck. I hope you can at least make it up to watch a few of the races...we can always use your talents working in the pits as a fill-in crew member

You are a great guy and it was a real pleasure working with you and watching you race. I'm going to miss the tranquility your even temper brought to the pit area.

If you ever want to run a practice (sort of like Kip ) we'll be around to help you out.

[LM954RR]

WOW....Talk about "Not seeing that coming".......Best of luck to you Gary. If your buisness talents are a fractioon of your riding talents...You are gonna be a wealthy man soon.
Don't be a stranger.

NESR will miss ya fer sure.

[Degsy]

Gary,
Very few have a talent like you....
You have proven to yourself and others, that what you had as a goal to achieve, has by far been accomplished.

I feel you'll do well, in many things you undertake, and good luck with the new business...

I'm pretty sure the door will still be left open for you, if you decide to rip off a couple laps at the track...

You are still ROY in my eyes buddy...

[need4speed]

Gary, good luck in your new venture. It won't be the same without ya there. don't be a stranger.

[Jank]

Best of luck with the new bizz, Gary!
Going to miss being amazed by you everytime you were on track!
Watching you run with the fast guys was incredible! It seems to me you could step up and ride with anybody, anywhere. 04 would have been an excellent year for you. But life intervenes...
Good luck!!!
Trucking company, huh?
Hmmmm, could we hitch a ride to, um, VIR??

[03f4ichick]

Good Luck Gary! Once again, great job this year.

[snaggle]

[DaSarge]

Gary first of all good luck with your new company

secondly it was awesome workin with you this past season, and watching you race was even better. Because of you and your crashes I learned a lot about how to fix that bike and im gonna miss it . Plus I made a new friend at the VP race fules station from all the times I would have to get your MR1 race fuel. I was great having you on the team and hopefully you'll come back to see me race in the near future. Well again good luck with everything.
