Dear Wendy and Michelle, Thank you for a great trip to Vegas. Your tour was the best and I appreciate all of your efforts during our stay. I would highly recommend Racing Connection to anyone interested in booking a tour. Thank again for a great time and I will be in touch for future bookings.
Thank You, Hi Wendy ~ Wendy, Thanks again for everything!
Hi Wendy, We just got home from our trip to
Bristol (the snow was wild and they say Canada is cold we have nothing
on Bristol) just wanted you to know what a great time we had LOVE
BRISTOL and what a great hostess you are. We went on a tour with Vrzoom
to Atlanta race a week before and I want you to know that you and your
company are 1000 % (yes 1000% not 100) better than they are. We will
definitely be seeing you again. (Hopefully for the 2 Charlotte races
next May) Thanks again...Barb and Greg Marks Port Alberni Birtish

Hi Wendy,
hi Wendy
where do i go to submit pix and comments about Daytona 500-2006 ? I got a great pix of you and Larry mc. and some good ones from the champ b-fast ... let me know ....again thank you...... it was the best Nascar deal I have been to ...it is very very close to being down under for 2 weeks ..[3 days with the WoO]....but yours was awesome ...u may be getting some calls bout Bristol Talk @ Ya Laaater Wade-o Hi Wendy and Everyone at Racin' Connection - Just wanted to take a moment and say "WOW"! What an incredible trip! This was the first year my friend and I took your tour! When we arrived home - our husbands knew they were going to be hearing about our next trip as a group through you (we did the test run before our husbands were included - they can be VERY picky) - needless to say - it would pass their test! Every moment of the trip was perfect - you thought of EVERYTHING. We never felt rushed - everything was well planned and enjoyable --easy for us - no thought or planning at all. I used to plan large events for several companies - and I know what is involved - and not one "extra" was not included-absolutely FLAWLESS. We have not stopped talking about it - and I have passed along your information to all of our racing friends - new and seasoned. What made the trip more enjoyable was how much fun the other passengers were-you created a very friendly and comfortable environment. We met so many new friends -- it was a trip to remember! Thank you so much for everything! You did a FINE JOB!! Regards-Ruth Purdie-Dyer & Kris Gould (it's so important to communicate all the things that are done well - and not just hear about the occasional "bumps, skids, or racing incident".)
dear Wendy and staff,
my husband and I had a blast at the
Bristol night race. we still can't believe how cheap it was for all that
you got. we spent that much on tickets last year with another company
and didn't get half of what you did. my husband was in heaven as we went
on the pit tour. last year we also had to drive ourselves to the track
talk about STRESS, it was so wonderful to have a nice air conditioned
bus. the seats were great as well and all the food and goodies you give
out I don't know how you make a profit. I honestly don't have one
negative thing to say about the trip. we defiantly plan to do the same
thing again next year. thank you so very much!

Wendy, Hello:
Wendy-
We were looking through the photo gallery and noticed that you didn't
have any from this year. Thought these couple were pretty good.
Thanks again for a wonderful time!! We are definitely planning on
coming for a third year and are hopefully going to bring a few more
couples with us. Please e-mail us with all the updates for future
races, especially Bristol.

.... Thanks again for a wonderful time!! We are definitely planning on
coming for a third year and are hopefully going to bring a few
more couples with us. You do a top rate job, thanks for
everything!!!

Wendy, I just got time to write. I want to thank you and your company for
showing me a great time in Daytona. The seats were better than I could
have ever dreamed. The hotel on the beach was perfect.
Everything was in walking distance of the hotel that I needed. The bus
trip to and from the track was excellent, and the hospitality tents were
great. I would also like the thank Ward Burton for coming to talk to
us and the other tents that allowed us the mingle with the other drivers.
I had the time of my life and will hopefully next year, go back to Daytona.
I am also saving my pennies, if not this year maybe next, to go to Bristol.
It was also fun to get to see the President at the race, even though he kept
me off the pit lane with all of the security on Sunday. Thanks again,
a very satisfied customer
Wendy,
Just got back from the Pepsi 400.
Had a wonderful time. Our seats for the race were awesome.
The hospitality package was terrific. Hotel accommodations were
very nice (meeting Richard Petty in our hotel lobby was a surprise and
an unexpected bonus!)
We were rookies at attending a race so
far from home. Thanks for helping us make it a smooth and fun
experience! Bring on next year's Bristol night race!!!!
Certainly plan on using your service again, and will tell all interested
about it!.........

Wendy: Thank you. Thanks Much Ray Atkinson Tracy, Ca. My name is Susan McArthur. My husband and I attended the Bristol race in August with Wendy and Racing Connection. Wendy talked to you about the t-shirt I bought for my husband that turned out to be way too big. Well - my husband ended up giving the shirt to his best friend(a very big guy) so we no longer have the t-shirt. I noticed that there was an 800# on the bag we got at Bristol so I called the speedway and they are going to send me a catalog so my husband can shop to his heart's content - I have a feeling this is going to cost me-LOL! I really appreciate the fact that Wendy took the time to contact you and you both took the time to respond to my request. I want to say again what a good time we had at Bristol. Wendy and Racing Connection are a class act. We've told everyone we know about how well organized everything was. We were especially pleased with the accommodations - you never know just what you are going to get when you purchase a package and we were very happy! Again, thanks so much for your time. It really is the little things that mean so much. Susan McArthur Subject: Thanks Again Thanks again Wendy for the great time at Bristol. This was our 4th trip with you (3 at Bristol) and they all were fabulous. You and your staff are just super and make every trip a memorable one. We especially enjoyed this year's hospitality tent with the drivers and will always remember Ken Schrader's comment about the Busch /Spenser incident. It was priceless. Once again, you satisfied everyone by making it possible that all who wanted to go on the track tour did so. I'd like to give special thanks to the Microtel staff (Michelle and Jeff) as they were great. They were organized and just down right good people. We went this time with 2 new friends and they are hooked. They say it's the only way to go and they can't wait to go again. Thanks and looking forward to our next trip with you. Ron & Debbie Ciarasso Rohnert Park, California
Wendy,
Thanks for all that you did and arranged for me at Darlington. The
motel was very nice with great staff and good food. The guys
at Trackscan looked after me very well and I finished up hiring 2
scanners and 4 headsets. The racing was
AWESOME and very different to what I am used to here in Australia.
Have a great day.
Neil
Wendy... Hi Wendy.
Hi Wendy,
Just wanted you to
know how much Glendon & I, Kendell & Tina enjoyed our trip to
Charlotte in May. Was delighted to hear that the Winston is being
held in Charlotte again this coming year. Other race fans should
have the opportunity to attend two racing events back to back like we
did. Had I not found your ad in a magazine, we would not have had
a great vacation. Thanks for the hospitality.
Keep the e-mails coming!!
Happy Holidays, ! Happy Racin'
Angela McHatten
Wendy,
We have done a few "tours" but
this is the best. Can you please add me to the e-mailing list so
we can do more Nascar tours with Racing Connections?
We went to Bristol last year and this was
the most professional run group we had ever been with.
Keep up the great work.
Hope to see y'all soon
Lynn Davis
Wendy - I hope your trip back home was a smooth one! Sparky To Wendy at the Racin' Connection,
Just wanted to thank all of you for a great
trip at Bristol August. This was our first of many Races with you
guys. Racing connection is the only way to go. Everything was so easy.
We went to Food City Family race night on Thursday
in Sevierville TN. Then we were Bristol bound for Family Race night. We
got a lot of autographs and some great pictures (I just emailed you a
bunch) Everyone in the group was great, including you and your
staff. The hotel staff was also
great. Who could forget Jason the Bar Tender who just wanted to go home
and study but soon realized that there is no crowd like a race crowd and
kept the bar open for the Racing connection group. The bus ride was not
that bad . The movie made it seem shorter. TN Ernie was a riot ( he was
their bus driver ). Hospitality was
great. Kurt Busch was a great speaker. Sterling Marlin was awsome. He
stuck around and I think signed an autograph for every person in that
tent. I can't say enough about the pit tour. The race was more than I
could have imagined. The seats were also great. The pizza was a surprise
and very much appreciated. The trip was the best. I'm looking forward to
next year with you guys and maybe Daytona.
Thanks again,
Julie Blackburn

Wendy, Wendy, Linda & Rick Dietz Hello Wendy! We had an awesome time at the Bristol Race! the hospitality village was great. Everyone was extremely friendly. Kem and Kristen (she was on bus #5 on saturday ) was so funny and friendly! I could not think of enough nice things about our trip to Bristol or the people who made it possible! The trip was organized and well planned. I would highly recommend you all and I am looking forward to attend more races with you all!...... Thank you, Barbara and Patrick Roberson ___________________ What can I say Wendy? Thanks again for a great trip. This was our 2nd time at Bristol and I have to say it was better than last year and that one was tough to top. You guys (oops sorry) and ladies at Racin Connection do one fabulous job. We stayed at the Microtel this year and even though it may not be as fancy as the Sunspree, we found it to be clean, comfortable and very convenient. The people at the front desk were so friendly and helpful. Besides, being from California, we got our first experience of The Waffle House (right next door to the Microtel) and that in itself is worth the trip. The hospitality tent was awesome. We really enjoyed listening to Kurt Busch and Sterling Marlin and the food was outstanding. Thanks again for arranging the pit tour. A definite highlight of the day. But most of all, thanks for making it such a memorable trip for my son and nephew. We had the pleasure of taking them with us this year. They were the one's that turned us onto NASCAR a few years ago. After last year's race, my wife and I commented to each other that it sure would have been cool to have them with us to enjoy the race. After the 9/11 tragedy, we realized that life is just so precious and that it was something that we just had to do. We do have a problem however. As much as we love Bristol, we would like to experience other tracks. But how do you top Bristol? A problem we need to solve for next year. You will be seeing us again. Hi Darwin and Debbie Disbro Aurora, IN Wendy, Just a note to let you know that I appreciate the opportunity to serve Racin' Connection as a motor coach driver for the race at Bristol this past weekend. Thank you for including me in the activities of the group. I enjoyed the good food and being allowed to attend the race. Also, I enjoyed working with your entire staff as they coordinated the operation of the group on my bus in making this trip successful and a pleasant experience. Looking forward to serving you again... Tennessee Ernie (A letter from a bus driver - that was a new one !! )
Wendy,
We just wanted to thank you for the great
trip to NASCAR race at ATLANTA. I still am amazed at how easily we
got to and from the race with little or no traffic. Your
enthusiasm and interest in racing is contagious! I can't imagine
going any other way but FIRST CLASS with you and the RACING CONNECTION.
You thought of every detail and planned a well organized and executed
trip. Your suggestions for meals in Atlanta were excellent.
It was great to be with someone who knows their way around. This
trip was truly memorable. Thank you for such a great experience.

Wendy, Thank you for an outstanding weekend of NASCAR and ARCA at its best. The weekend was great, the racing was even better. We are looking forward to doing an event with Racin' Connection again. Rick, Gary and, JohnDetroit, MI Dear Wendy: Just a late thank you for a wonderful trip to Bristol in August. I stayed in Ashville and was very pleased with the accommodations. The bus trip was a bit lengthy, however, the entertainment was superb! I was surprised at how everyone on the tour, including your help, was so friendly and helpful! My son was supposed to accompany me on that trip (it was his Christmas present), however 2 weeks before the race he decided to jump down the stairs and broke his ankle and was not able to attend. We will try once again in August 2002! One of the highlights of my trip was meeting Bobby Allison and talking to him regarding flying (one of my hobbies) for 15 or 20 minutes (picture included). Thanks again for a memorable trip!

Hi Wendy-I know this is a little late but we
just had to say thanks for the wonderful time we had with racing
connections. Everyone was great and you sure do know how to get in
and out of Bristol without traffic. Had a great time in the tent
meeting fans from Michigan that were Robert Pressley fans. We had a
lot of laughs before the race and the food was great. It was great
to have pizza waiting for us when we got back. This is our second
trip with you and we would not go with another tour group. You run a
class show.

I know we thanked everyone for a great Bristol weekend while we were at the hotel, but I had to confirm in writing what a wonderful time we had with the people of The Racin Connection. This was the second tour group that Karl and I had been on, and our first with The Racin Connection. I won't mention the other group we used a couple of years ago, but you all beat the pants off of them when it comes to organizing a racing weekend. This was our friend Rob's first time to Bristol, and his first ever group package, and he really enjoyed himself also. Karl, or "Short Buzz" as Genie named him, was in heaven since he got to take the pit tour. I think sometimes he loves Bristol more than he loves his his wife and daughter. All of your people were really nice and fun to deal with. The hotel was quite nice, and our bus driver Ray was extremely nice and got us in and out in fantastic time. The race tickets for both nights were really good seats. The hospitality tent was really cool, and we met a lot of great race fans from all across the country. In short, I don't see how any other tour group could possibly top the experience we had with The Racin Connection. I can assure you the next time any of us are looking for a race package, you all will be at the top of our list .Great job Wendy, and everyone else involved! Regards, ,Tom Bockerstette Karl Buelterman Rob Gamel Hi Wendy, Just got back from Bristol, had an awesome time. On the way home, (Michigan) we were already talking about next year. Thanks for everything hope to be with you again. Hi to Michelle, for keeping us all in line!!Joan & Jerry Canfield
Wendy, Just got home from Bristol and wanted to say what a fantastic time we had. It was my father's very first race, and our first time in Bristol. Absolutely awesome!! I just wanted to say thank you so much for the package you put together. Your staff was great!! Thanks again for a good time and we'll be seeing you at another race soon.Patti and Jeff Mowry and Jim White
Wendy, Always,
Wendy,
This email is a little late but never the
less, here it is. I was looking to take a tour to a Winston Cup race for
this year and knew the Racing Connection was the place to look. My
experience with you for the Bristol night race was incredible. It
was a dream come true to see this race never mind meeting Bobby Allison,
Michael Waltrip, Johnny Benson, AND Matt Kenseth all in
the same day.
I would never tour with anyone else. I would
suggest to all of your potential customers to take the VIP package. It
is well worth the extra money!! I'm glad I did.
Thanks again

Wendy,
Just wanted to write and thank
you for a 'very excellent' week-end! The Talladega Racing Connection
package was my Christmas present to Bryant and it was definitely one of
the highlights of his life! From the black tie induction ceremony at the
Motorsports Hall of Fame to great racing and great seats on Saturday and
again on Sunday plus being able to talk to the pit crews, to Bobby (what a
great man!) and to Johnny Benson (our new favorite driver!).....we were in
NASCAR heaven!! (Not to mention bumping into Jeff and Brooke Gordon just
outside the hotel in Birmingham!!!). We will definitely be contacting you
again for more ticket packages. Your
Racin' Connection
team were
fun and helpful, and the other Racing Connection clients were a blast! I'm
sending you some photos! Thanks for everything...
Wendy Morton Hey Wendy, (about Atlanta) Angela and I would like to express our thanks to you and the Racing Connection staff for a great weekend... We enjoyed the bus ride Sunday and even though it was cold and rainy.. we all enjoyed the company of those who were with us...The race on Monday was terrific and the pit passes enabled us to see up close.. Bobby and Terry Labonte, Jeff and Brooke Gordon, Dale Earnhardt, Mark Martin, Jeff and Ward Burton, Jimmy Spencer, Rusty Wallace, and several others... It was nice to get to talk to Rusty on Sunday to at our tent... The food was as expected.... always delicious.... There is absolutely nothing that is not 1st. class about Racing Connection... We are all made to feel that it is our company too!!!.... Which is so extraordinary... We also enjoyed our time with you and Mark at the hotel Sunday night... We look forward to more good times with you at future events... Tell all hello and again,Thanks!!!!!!!! ASA ps. let me know when the new schedule is out... we are thinking about two races with one being the fall Bristol race. Also, I have a nice picture of you and some others.. though it rained we still had a great time. I enjoyed meeting Rusty Wallace and talking with Bobby on the telephone. He is a great PERSON!! I also appreciate all of the work that you did to ensure that our trip was as rewarding as it was. Hope to see you in Charlotte and Daytona. I can say it now that the Racin' Connection is to only way to go to a race. Everything is taken care of except getting to the hotel. What great service!!!! Again my compliments to you and everyone involved. Thanks again, Sandy Brooks-Vinton, Va.( see her picture website above) Wendy, I had been meaning to send this e-mail to you since we got back home from Talladega's Winston 500. My wife Helen and I can't even begin to express our gratitude towards you during our race tour with Racing Connection. It was undoubtedly an experience we'll never forget. You did such a fantastic job in making the race totally enjoyable with the way you ran the event. The food was delicious, meeting Bobby Allison and Jeff Burton was fantastic, and the hotel was beautiful. It was so relaxing to not worry about getting to and from the track was a great relief from driving it myself. The bus ride was great, and the icing on the cake, Dale Earnhardt winning the race. Couldn't ask for a better time. We both thank you for you r hospitality, you're great people.Also if you could please let us know of any future trips - we'd appreciate it. Thanks again, Jim and Helen Pierce Monroeville PA Wendy, I just wanted to say that I had a great time in vegas with all of you. Keep up the great work and see you next year in vegas... Can we order yet??? By the way, when are you going to post the pictures of this years race ??? Thanks again.. Arden Hough Spokane, WA Wendy & Company, Thank you for all of your efforts. My first racing experience will probably be my best thanks to the wonderful job you and team have done in Las Vegas. I'd certainly join your race team again. Aloha, Thomas Carreiro & Jeannie Chang. Hawaii To Wendy & Mark: We wanted to thank you for our great Las Vegas experience with the Racin' Connection. We were skeptical at first, we were unsure of what results we would have reserving a vacation totally from the internet & fax machine, but we were surprised & amazed! Not only were you all exceptionally customer oriented, but also the hotel was better than we expected and so was the transportation to/from the track, the tickets were excellent seats & we met lots of great people (fans & drivers!) Thank you for making our FIRST NASCAR race such a memorable experience. The hospitality tent is well worth the $$, and Bobby Allison was Great! We would recommend you to anyone wanting a stress free NASCAR experience! We'll be back, we have recommended you to several friends already too! See you in Fontana ! - Alicia & Ricky Starr, KentuckyDear Wendy: Just wanted to say "thanks" one more time for a great experience in Las Vegas. It was so much fun for us. And hanging out at the track with Lisa, Vickie and Sharon made it even more enjoyable. Those gals are a lot of fun! We have pictures with the girls and have an address for Lisa; however, we were unable to find them before they left to get last names and an address for Vickie also. Would it be possible for you to give me their last names and an address for Vickie.... Thanks again for a wonderful experience and we hope to do it again sometime. - Linda & Walt PfeifferRacin' Connection, Yes, we are still married !! & Happily so. Surprised ? Happy Holidays to you - Can't wait for racing to start - we get in a bit of a slump. Marc counts the days! Merry Christmas. Wendy - Keep us on your mailing list - love to see you in Bristol this year - think of you so often & our wonderful California experience. Marc & Cheri Moberly - Silverton, OR
Just wanted to take a minute and Thank you for the pictures you sent back to Sharon of our trip in the garage at Vegas !! What a great time !!

Just wanted to thank you for your Hospitality this year at Vegas and Bristol...we always have a great time with you guy's and you always seem to go out of your way! That's why we keep coming back to you guy's!!

It's not Racing....but then we come to you guy's for that !!! Your "Missouri " friends, Vicki Isom, Sharon Dixon & Lisa Arrowsmith
We had an absolutely fantastic time and were very impressed with the package we purchased. The VIP hopitality included the pit tour and garage area tour which was a very enjoyable site to see. The race tickets were very good seats. We were so impressed with the Racin' Connection package, we are considering purchasing a package to Bristol in August. -- D. Stuczynski, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
I just wanted to take a minute to write you and thank you for another great Charlotte trip. It is easy to see why you decided upon Racin' Connection, because, Wendy, you do have the racin' connections. We had a great time. We asked for and got aisle seats, and we thank you very much for that. The hospitality tent is well worth the money. We get to renew acquaintances with old and new friends as well as talk to Bobby Allison and the other drivers you bring in. Ted Musgrave was great this year and Bobby is Bobby. I had a few minutes alone with him at the auction, and those were special minutes with a living legend. We look forward to seeing you again in October. -- T. Clark, Ogdensburg, NY
