Talk about living the good life. I mean, does it get any better for a combination outdoors/auto racing writer than this?
I can file two stories from the same place and count it as, like, 4 days of work. Wow. Where do I sign up?
Former NASCAR driver still revered around these parts, Ricky Craven, is joining with the Moosehead Chamber of Commerce to host the 1st annual Moosehead Lake Togue Ice Fishing Derby on Jan. 26-27.
The derby, designed to help Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife clean some of the lake trout (togue) out of Moosehead, will raise money for local and national charities. There are cash prizes for the 3 biggest togue caught, and all anglers bringing in smaller fish will be given raffle tickets toward several prizes.
For more info on the derby, visit www.mooseheadlake.org or RickyCraven.com.

Hello,
I am a freelance writer with several articles in the Bangor Daily News over the past few years. I want to congratulate you on your recognition by the Motorsports Expo folks. It is nice to see that someone recognizes gearhead reporters. I agree that it is difficult to get motorsports news in the paper especially as a freelancer. I am not complaining since it appears sometimes that racers do not take the time to bug their paper for more motorsports coverage. Even that sometimes is not always effective, witness the efforts of Bangor's rally racer John Cassidy.
Maybe someday we will meet. There are some good stories coming out of the efforts to re-open Spud Speedway up my way.
