Your Bio
MY FACEBOOK ENTRY THIS MORNING (11-15-09): good morning all, after a busy Saturday working on the yard, I sit down with coffee and the Sunday paper and read of the passing of Dick Mysliwiec, wow, a sad day, especially for me, Dick was the 3rd brother (included Chet and Chuck) and the last of the trio that promoted the Berlin Raceway in Marne Michigan (My personal home track) for 50 years, they gave me the chance of being their track photographer for so many years (I cannot thank them enough), this is truly a sad day, I have attached the link to the obituary here

Berlin Raceway had its 2009 awards banquet on Friday, November 6, 2009. The photos are below, under the Berlin 2009 section.
