Well, its good to be back at the Stampede for another year. This will be my 18th Stampede as a competitor and the butterflies never leave. I have some strong contenders this week, most notably Rae Croteau, Luke Tournier, and Neal Walgenbach. Hopefully we can get a little luck. Last night went pretty good, the track was suprisingly good considering the downpour we got at about 6:30. Buddy Bensmiller flew last night, and there are a lot of good outfits here. I think this will be one of the most competitive Stampede’s in a while. I guess time will tell. Enjoy the week.
