Mike Barnes, longtime racer from the Florida region. Numerous national championships,

still fast enough to kick your butt. After years of showcasing his skills, Mike is going to slow

it all down in 2005. That means you still can't beat him but at least you'll get a chance.

We wish Mike a long and prosperous semi-retirement and a new career where he will actually

make money. You all know what I mean.

I've known Barney for over 20 years now and we've seen a lot of the good and

the bad in our sport. Through it all he remains at the top.

Go luck Barney and keep in touch.

Smokin' Joe
