\"\"<\/a>My name is Scott McAllister and I\u2019m the new administrator of Karnac.com.\u00a0 I have delayed writing this letter to give myself and the racing community some time to observe Jack\u2019s life and legacy after his almost life-long dedication to this sport and lifestyle.\u00a0 Everyone that met and knew Jack was aware of the time and effort he committed to building Karnac and promoting racing of all types and I promised Jack and Cathy before his passing that I would carry on the work he started many years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have slowly been able to decipher Jack\u2019s method to update the site (along with the help of several others) to allow me to at least keep the site \u00a0revised with current information, but as we all know, Karnac is much more than press releases and a message board.\u00a0 It was, and still is your home for auto racing photo and audio archives, editorials, and human interest stories that involve the racing community.\u00a0 I look forward to bringing you new stories about drivers, car owners, team members, fans and sponsors that will keep you entertained and informed about racing locally and across the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The site will soon be completely updated with a new look and layout, but rest assured, the content and Jack\u2019s vision will remain and Karnac will continue for many years to come.\u00a0 I would like to say thanks to Rick Anges for not only managing the message board, but for his continuing commitment to Jack and his site.\u00a0 Together, we plan to maintain Jack\u2019s integrity to the racing community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I would also like to recognize several others that have helped along the way, knowing I\u2019m either unaware or merely forgotten if I leave anyone out.\u00a0 Of course, Bill Green, who worked with Jack to start Short Track America, Jane Smith with her detailed and eloquent writing skills throughout the years and everyone that were a part of Real Racin\u2019 USA and also Inside Florida Racing including Rob Elting and CeCe Brooks, Hans Nieborg and Craig Clarke.<\/p>\n

As I look through the pages of Karnac, I realize that no one has done more for the local racer than Jack Smith.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>Literally 1000\u2019s of interviews and photos, more press releases than I can count, and radio shows that introduced drivers, track owners, promoters and more to fans across the country.\u00a0 I can only hope to bring the same enthusiasm and professionalism that Jack did to the racing community he helped bring together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once again, I would like to thank Cathy, her family, and of course Jack, to allow Rick and I to help carry on what he started so many years ago.\u00a0 And thanks to everyone that helped make Karnac.com your #1 site for racing news and information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
