Open Letter on Pompano’s Pro-Am Night

First, we need to thank The Legends themselves for participating and making this such a great event for Pompano fans old and new. We were very pleased with the on-track attendance thank you.

To Wally Hennessey and Dave Ingraham, it is our pleasure to see you compete on a nightly basis and we truly appreciate you participating. You are both Legends at Pompano and congrats to both of you on your Pro-Am victories

To Mickey McNichol thank you for coming out of driving retirement to participate. Many old-time fans were on hand tonight to see the man that led the driver’s colony for many seasons at Pompano. Congratulations on your Legends event victory also!

To Bruce Ranger thank you so much for traveling such a long way to join the other Legends this evening. You were the heartbeat of the Pompano driving colony for so many years and we saw many fans come out to see you once again circle the Pompano oval. Fans and horsemen alike were genuinely pleased to have you here. Thank you for generously participating.

To all the trainers and horsemen that supported these events by putting horses in to race thank you. Also, a HUGE thank you for all the support the horsemen have showed to the FADC since 1998. We couldn’t have had such a successful Club without you. And we wouldn’t have been able to support as many charities over the years.

Thanks also to the Charities that made time out of their schedules to be onsite to help us celebrate the Legends and to be there in person to accept the charity donations and thank their corresponding drivers. We appreciate, support and encourage all our charities in all their endeavors to help those in need.

A special thanks to Rosie Huff who worked tirelessly as always, getting together a pizza dinner for the horsemen in the paddock and help organize the charity presentations and cap signings by our Legends. Thanks Rosie!

A very special thanks to John Berry, who year after year, week after week, unselfishly promotes our sport through the amateur movement. John is constantly and consistently available to help the Amateur Club with winner circle presentations and the many articles he has written over the years advising the world of FADC racing and the charities we have supported. Our efforts have flourished because of John Berry’s support.

We also would like to thank Pompano Park, Gabe Prewitt and Joe Zambito for their support and for writing races for the Club each week. Also, a thank you to all racing management since our 1998 inception that supported the Club over the years making The Florida Amateur Driving Club one of the most successful Amateur clubs in North America.

Thanks to all again for making The Pompano Legends Pro-Am a huge success.

Dein Spriggs, Tom Eichas, Leon Cable and the entire Membership of the FADC.
