With new Shootout dates comes a newfound excitement for the coming year. The one event which means so much to so many has come back for another chance. I really think this Shootout is our last chance to show both Buschur Racing and the people of Norwalk that we appreciate what they do for us.

That said, let's all agree to be on our best behavior this year so that there might be a Shootout every year. Those of us who make this a yearly pilgrimage of sorts have a responsibility to set the tone for how the new people should behave. Let's show our appreciation by not trashing their town and sullying Buschur's name in the process. Let's do our part to keep everyone in line. We are all brothers at the DSM Shootout and, as such, we are responsible for each other.

Behave or lose it forever.
