First off, I want to Thank everyone who participated at the event and hope every one had a Great time!! I want to personally Thank all the Vendors who supported the event along with the volunteers especially Greg and Chuck. Every year we learn more from our past events to further a better outcome for the near future. Next year, all participants will be in the same class regardless if you are a vendor, media or participant!! Furthermore, as stated per this years rules, If you registered the car, You Must Be The Driver!! Again, it's about having FUN with our friends and drinking a little apple pie, right Doug!!!

1st,,, second,,,third it's all un-important Bill,,,, speaking for Carbon Kustoms we sponsors these events because it brings "a great group of people" together to enjoy some spirited driving in a safe environment with most importantly a lot of fun to be had....

I share your view point that the event is the people and the laughs.... Racing is handled by SCCA who do a great job of just that.... We're just a group of enthusiasts that love to laugh :thumbsup: , drive in a spirited fashion :cool: ,,,,, May we never loss focus of that I hope....

We should have had all vendors in a class by themselves, not just the sponsors.
Speedtech, TCI certainly should have been vendors since they sell suspension parts, period.
I take the blame for that and it won't happen again. It is tough trying to put different people in different classes. In Speedtech's case, Blake was the registered participant and Jay drove so the scoring shows Blake not Jay. It is a slippery slope when you start breaking down all the variables and that is why I HATE even keeping score. I do not want these event becoming so competitive that we lose sight of what they are intended to be about. At RTTHs I have always put EVERYONE in the same class. Run what you brung and hope you brung enough! I may go back to that at all future events, makes my life much easier for sure.

To clear the air, if you haven't already looked at the results on DSEs sight, Ryan was the fastest, Jay(listed as Blake) was second and Kyle came in third on the roadcourse. Either way, all three were very much in the hunt and the results show the true numbers, regardless of class which to me is the important numbers anyway.

And just so everyone knows, Kyle would have won the OUSCI invitation had everyone been in the same class, he certainly had the field covered.

So, without starting another firestorm here, these are the facts as I saw them.

Some of us don't drink or drive :woot: --- and we STILL HAVE A KICK AZZ TIME!

I agree with the changes -- just everybody run what ya brung -- and most of all ENJOY a great time!

It's ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS about the PEOPLE not the dang cars... The cars are just the excuse for getting us all together.

Hope your head wasn't aching from having to do all of the math related to adding cone penalties onto my times. I imagine what is simple at first eventually wears ya down.

By the way, I really wanted to see you driving ze German boat of yours around the autocross.

Too funny.... You're new nickname is "coney". And yeah -- my head is still writing times down!

Watching me drive anything is not much fun.... watching Brian Finch wheel that tub around was a hoot though! That man can DRIVE! For him to jump in that big ol' boat -- street tire pressures and all... me in the passenger seat and he goes around twice and lays down a 40.4 ! Get out! Another time or two and he'd have laid down a 39 sec run. There's a trick to keeping the twin turbos on spool... 'cause it's a dog without 'em.

Bill Howell and I gave it a couple of runs - but I think we spent more time laughing than driving... Both Bob Braga and Rodger Lee went way faster than Bill or I.
