12/30/07 - From Lisa: Good luck in the Atlantic City races Babe!! 11/28/07 - From Aunt Bernie: Vern, I've been checking out your race sight from time to time and want to wish you congrats on a great season. Best of luck next year and maybe I'll get a chance to go and see you. Love, Aunt Bernie 11/28/07 - From Steve: Great Job at Turkey Derby. I read all about it. Nice run on Friday for both cars to be in the top five. Thats awesome. Too bad your other driver lost his bumper, from the way he ran Friday he probably would have had another good run, but at least you brought the cars home in one piece. Thats important. Awesome website too man. Its nice to see it updated all the time. Congrats on your CHAMPIONSHIP as well. Your a class act, and represent the division very well. 11/25/07 From Jason: YOU ARE THE MAN BRO! I'll be there next season with ya!!! 11/16/07 From Brenda K: "Ms. Black Flag Floyd": BEST WISHES @ TURKEY DERBY VERN!!! 11/11/07 From Kyle M: Nice Job Uncle Petey on your win at the Mahoning Valley Speedway... Good Luck to both Vern and Petey at the Turkey Derby.
Someone ought to give you a ride instead of you providing rides for others. Good Luck at the Turkey Derby.
who have visited the Fan Forum and also attended some races down at the track. Your support really means a lot not only to my race team, but also to the sport of local short track racing in all. I would also like to thank all of my sponsors who have supported us through this year and years past. Without them we would not be where we are at today. It is through the sponsor's and fan's continued support that we are able to win races and put on a great show. We hope that you continue to come back for more because the excitement with the McLaughlin Motorsports team and Wall Twsp. Speedway never ends.
good work if we still have racing next year. 10/20/07 From Carol: Congratulations Vern on your championship and all you have accomplished this season. Sorry i was not able to make it to your races this year saturday's always a work day for me. You know how Lisa's dad used to love watching you race at Flemington. If he was still here I'm sure he would be with you guys every Saturday night. Love, your mother in law
was sick. I hope I'm better for turkey derby so I can go with you and Aunt Lisa. I wish i could go to your banquet but I'm not old enough. See you soon. 10/17/07 From Lisa: Congratulations Vern on your championship. I knew it was yours this year all along. You went in to it this season with good intentions in doing it by the book and keeping Tischler out of the picture really all payed off. I'm proud of you for soooooooo many things this race season. Not only for your great job out on that track every week, but also all you were thru with the 21 and 005 you kept your kool and never once seeked revenge. You deserve a lot of credit for that. Its not worth it. Look were it got you, at the top were you belong. Look were it got them, in trouble all the time. Because they live for revenge, and their only revenge was that you were competition for them. 'Cause you have never done a thing to them. And you still kicked butt. Congrats to you and I love you soooo very much. I will always be there for you. Racing is a lot of fun. I've enjoyed it 10 years now with you and looking forward to10 more. Love Lisa 10/12/07 From Bill H.: Congratulations on your Championship. Looking forward to watching you again in '08!!!! 10/11/07 From Bob E.: Vern, Congrats on the fine season and points win! You stayed focused on the big picture!!!!
of us here in TN. "DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE". Love and miss you, The Cook Clan 10/8/07 From Shelby & Stacey: Uncle Vern, I heard about how great the night was. Wish I could have been there to have seen you take the Championship! When I get old enough, I will be there! Love You. 10/7/07 From Dad: CONGRATULATIONS SON Well the season is over and all is said and done. Bringing home the Championship is worth a million and one. You fought hard and clean,showed respect where due. Now the celebration is all about you. All the hard work you and your team put in, and all the support you had throughout the season has paid off. I am so proud of you. I Love You. Dad
matter if you win or lose because you're the best racer I have ever known! Keep up the good work vern!! Love you! lil sis. 9/23/07 From Dad: Ok a trivia question for you. What did I say on July 8? Well you are on your way to that big day. FIVE wins and the biggest point lead out of all the divisions shows them all how talented you are. Last night was one of the most exciting features you raced. Coming through those wrecks wheeling that 350 powered monte carlo to victory lane once again proves who Speed Racer is. With two races to go, get out there and show them you will not lay back. Keep the pressure on and show them that the McLaughlin MotorSports Team is here to race. Love ya Son, DAD 9/8/07 From Lisa: I am so glad you are ok. I am also glad you don't have to worry about racing with them anymore and taking another chance of getting taken out. That was there plan all along and it failed. You're still #1, and he is not allowed back. Now there is only one car left to worry about, #21, not to worry that he will beat you, but to worry he will hurt you. Just try to stay as far away from him as possible, and I do see another win coming before the season is over. Good Luck Babe. Double o five is no longer alive, and the o six kicks butt 9/5/07 From Shelby & Stacey: We are happy that you are ok, but very upset about the whole thing. You are out there doing what you love and don't need stupid people like that guy out there on the track. Watch your back, and keep on winning!! Love, Shelby and Stacey
craziness surrounding your life - you came through like a champ; which really means something. “True champions aren't always the ones that win, but those with the most guts.” (Mia Hamm) Love Mother 9/2/07 From Dad: First off I'm glad you're ok, I was very upset to see what I did and it was the most horrified unsportsman ship move a race car driver could do. Oh did I say race car driver.... I meant a crazy suicidal NUT. Hats off to you Son, you proved it again who the best is. Roaring through all that traffic like freight train from 17th to 2nd and inches from a win shows them who the boss is. I know your destiny is to be the best you can be and that your mission is to be the Factory Stock CHAMPION of 2007. So as I said Son hats off to you, I know you will be in victory lane celebrating your first CHAMPIONSHIP. Get well and keep the pedal to the metal. 8/28/07 From Nancy: Sorry we didn't make it last week, but we'll be there Saturday and we're looking forward to a great race for both of you....two great drivers with two great cars! 8/19/07 From Dad: As Garth Brooks would say. "And The Thunder Rolls". And thunder there was at the Jersey Shore when the Mclaughlin Motor Sports Team roared from 16th & 17th to the front like storm. WOW what a finish, and three in a row for Petey. Keep up the good work and I know you guys will be at the top when all's said and done. Championship is under your belt. Love ya, Dad 8/14/07 - From Joseph: Great Race Uncle Petey! I wish I was there to see that one, but I'm sure you'll do it again, and I will be there next time. Great Job on keeping the momentum up for Mclaughlin Motorsports. You and my Uncle Vern make a great team, and I hope you guys will stick together for a long time. I hope you'll be around when I start racing if I get the chance to. Cya on Saturday, Little Jr. 8/15/07 - From Steve: Hey Vern, great run at the last NEETS race and congrats on yet another top 5. Better watch it Petey's gaining on you!! It still looks like a 1-2 finish for you two, as long a Petey can keep those DQ's away for the rest of the season. By the way great site. 8/6/07 - From Skip Eccles: 3 wins in a row! wow! great job Vern. Race hard but remember the big picture is the w.t.s. championship!! race for that and it will come! best of luck! 8/6/07 - From Mother: What a way to go!! Such passion - you deserve to win. Pa must have felt real good winning there after all your wins at Wall. Keep it going. I love you, am always there for you and am so proud. Love Mother 8/6/07 - From Aunt June: Hey Vern!! Congrats on your back to back wins. Thanks for sending me your race reports, I look forward to reading them. Keep going, you're doing great!! 8/6/07 - From Stacey & Shelby: I am so sorry this is late. But, congrats to Lisa! That is so great! And keep up the great driving Vern!! Love Stacey and Shelby

It was a very exciting race. Lets do it again. You are THE MAN !!! 7/19/07 - From Dad: Ok well I did watch the move you put on that 21 and it was great. WOW what a race, Oh yea they have it on Youtube. Another trophy on the shelf and more points toward becoming the 2007 Champion, I Love It. Keep the pressure on Son and show them who SpeedRacer really is. Good luck next week. Love ya, Dad 7/18/07 - From Vicky: Vern you looked good out there!!! Lisa really wanted that purple trophy.... What color do you need next??? 7/8/07 - From Dad: Yes it was hot and so was that 06 and 6 car. Man O Man what a finish. Charging through the pack like a running bull was so exciting to watch and trying to put a move on #6 was really a challenge. I knew you would be in the top five and you did just that. Great job and don't you worry, you will be the CHAMPION I know it in my heart. Love Ya 6/26/07 - From Skip Eccles: Way to go Lisa!!!! Kick ass and take no prisoners! 6/24/07 - From Big Al: Dude you are the best driver in factory stock racing wall speedway has seen. It's been my pleasure working with you and my time is well worth it. Go get that championship and forget the b.s. You can do it man and I got your back dude. You have Shooters support and we will do big things together.
be corrected and you will be out front again. Remember don't ever trust plastic. Watching how you were running told me you were gonna be in victory lane again. You were wheeling through the pack like a freight train. So go Git R Done next week. I'll be there. Proud of you, Dad 6/23/07 - From Leon: I watched Jackie race at Victory Speedway (OCFS). He was a fantastic racer..............but he was a better person. He was so kind and friendly to the fans. He is missed by us all. Good luck in your career. He must be very proud of you. 6/19/07 - From Shelby & Stacey: Way to go Uncle Vern!! Keep it up, and CONGRATS!
reach, stay after it!!! Skip p.s. Pat Uncle Petey on the back!! 6/19/07 - From Joseph: You had an awesome race Saturday night. 1st place and 3rd place. That was great. I was so excited to tell all my friends in the stands that thats my Uncle Vern, and he's the best driver out there. I also liked coming down into victory lane with you, that was fun, I want to do it again so go win some more races. 6/17/07 - From Dad: So the rain came and the track was green, but that didn't stop the McLaughlin Motor Sports Team. You could hear the thunder from near and far as SPEEDRACER wheeled that 06 car. Racing three wide side by side, going high, ducking low, I knew my Son was gonna give them a show. Let it be said the man with no fear, came across that finish line with trophys and cheers. WOW what a great job Vern I knew you could do it.And now it's late and the team goes again, you proved to us all you could do it from the end. 19th to 3rd was showing them who's Boss. Now go get that CHAMPIONSHIP. 6/17/07 - From Lisa: WOW!!! You really showed everyone last night that you are the top dog in the Factory Stocks at Wall. From 13th to 1st and from 19th to 3rd. If D.E.I. is looking for a new driver to replace Dale Jr.- Vern McLaughlin is your man. He can drive the wheels off of anything. I love you and keep on kickin butt. 6/3/07 - From Dad: Oh Yea the heat was on at the Jersey Shore and again you proved who not to reckoned with. From 11th to 2nd WOW what a finish, diving that power house #06 deep into the turn to get the lead was a move not too many drivers would attempt. As I said before and I'll say it again SPEEDRACER will be in VICTORY LANE again. Great racing. 6/3/ 07 - From Nancy: Great job, Vern, your Dad and I are proud of you. Everyone at Davey's always asking how you did each week, so keep it up, we love to brag about you! We'll be there next week to cheer you on. 6/3/07 - From Dawn: You're a good driver. I root for you guys every week. 6/3/07 - From Lisa: Babe, you were definitley the fastest car out there last night. If you would have just had a couple more laps you would have beaten you know who for the win. You showed them your not fooling around and they better look out. Great Job!!!!!!! Great Driving !!!!!! 5/27/07 - From Dad: Another great race from what I saw. Sometimes things don't aways work out like they should and you just have to take the good with the bad. On the other hand I also witnessed the only driver that can come up the middle three wide and keep that 06 wheeling around the track from 10th to 3rd showed them who not to mess with. So with all said, do what ya got to do and go get um next week. 5/14/07 - From Dad: WOW what a great job controlling that 06. Sounds like you had your hands full and man what a recovery, from last to 4th is fantastic. Keep the pressure on and you'll be holding that checkered flag in victory lane once again. And a 1,2 finish in the heats tell them who the BOSS is. Keep those Hot Rods smokin. 5/13/07 - From Annie: Vern - How you were able to pull off a finish like that considering what you had to overcome is incredible. It just goes to show how determined you are. Looks like you got yourself a real capable man to wheel that second car for you. Love to you and Lisa and GO MAN GO!!! 5/7/07 - From Rooster: GREAT JOB! Sorry we missed it. All of us at SHOOTERS 365 are extremely proud and honored to be involved with McLaughlin Motorsports. Keep raising hell out there Vern! 5/7/07 - From Aunt June: Hey Vern!! Glad to hear you're off to a good start. Uncle Ken keeps up with you in Area Auto. Maybe we can make it to a race or two this year. All the best!! Love ya 5/6/07 - From Dad: Thunder at the Shore and Lighting in the 06. What a great race, wheeling that Chevy to 3rd from 11th proves who SpeedRacer is. Keep the heat on and you'll be in Victory Lane. I must give Rich a thumbs up. What a run he had in that power house #6 Chevy Monte Carlo. Awesome driving Rich, keep the pressure on. Dad
