Speed Tech gathering !
 

Just wanted to thank Rodger ,Blake and Paul ! Great Sema party at the MGM ,first class all the way!!! THANX GUY'S!!! Also Rodgers wife Lisa Marie what a great lady! We met Lisa Marie at Bills car(EVADE) and it was like we knew her forever. We had a great time with her while she was tending bar.
Thanx again :cheers:

Mario -- Sorry I missed meeting you at this most excellent gathering!! Next time announce yourself you DB!!


:cheers: :woot:

Man I'm sorry Greg totally my fault!

Oh gawd! Great response!!

Sorry I missed you. Really. I was over at the far end by the hot tub... once I got there - I didn't move around... and probably missed meeting many great folks. Next year!

:cheers:

I'd like to second the thanks....Great gathering, had a great time as always! Hope everyone had a safe trip back!

I came down with a wicked cold Wednesday morning and had to miss it. Damn!

yeah I came down with a the wicked FLU and missed most of Wednesday and Thursday as well. Finally felt better on Friday morning but still pissed I missed all the fun stuff... oh well next year.

Sorry Blake!

Carter

I passed out after the PT dinner I was so exhausted. I wanted to go so bad, I was pissed!

Well I guess if it wasn't for me talking to Mario all night you two, probably would of met.
I guess didn't want to come over and talk to us cause, I was talking and walking around with Greg all day.

So that's what happened to you.....hate you caught one but thanks for not sharing ;).

I had a good time at the party too. I should have pictures to post once they are approved by the hosts.

:cheers:

Excuses excuses.
it was a great time i think??
i was so busy running arround 2 seperate trips to get more booze!!!

thanks to all who showed up and to those who had to go to bed at 9pm sorry about your luck

It was a great time...that's for sure! Thanks guys and gals!! We were there till 2am...just having too much fun!! :cheers:

We went to parties every night, some big name parties everyone wants to get into. This was the best SEMA party of the year, period! Pretty much a whos who in the world of ProTouring.

The room was incredible, awesome patio, perfect weather and good freinds.

Thanks Blake, Anita, Roger, and Lisa. You guys busted your asses for all of us to have a great time. Can't wait till next year, your going to need a bigger room!

Mario, how the hell did we miss one another? Damn!.

Blake, Tim and Roger - this was the highlight of my trip! I have never laughed so hard in my life. After working our butts off all day it was awesome to sit and talk with the greatest group of guys I've ever met.
Roger - I still have the rubber band you gave me and I love your wife.

Thank you guys! Can't wait to get together again!

Frank - I'm mad I didn't get to meet you out there. I looked but missed you!
Anthony - next time kick me when I'm putting my foot in my mouth please!
Thanks for the great time and even better memories!

Staci

Geez, why ya gotta leave out the newbie? don't forget, I'm the one who made the booze run at 11:30!

That being said, I am glad to hear that so many people enjoyed the "reception" and we hope to see you all next year! That patio was very definitely at or above it's recommended occupancy limit, we may have to find a bigger place!

Thanks to all who attended and made it what it was!

They all look good to me (other than the ones with me in them) bring 'em on!

Greg, you were talking to me over by the Hot Tub. You met all of the great people you needed too. :lol:

Doug

Thanks for putting that gig together Blake---you guys were really loud BTW, my balcony was right above yours---LOL

Doug

Tim, was great to hang out with you at SEMA---will be in touch with you guys in the coming year to round out the back of the car---

Doug

it was a great party, thanks for the invite!

Thanks for the invite guys! Had a great time @ the party :thumbsup:

Jon and I had a great time! Thanks for the invite!

Ok, I'm gonna post 'em all then. This thread is about to get bogged down. Jenn is gonna kill me.


Frank, sorry I didn't get to meet you. I didn't know you were there or I would have hunted you down. I used to work with Tim and we have spoken on the phone many times.

I hate to be this guy but I have to throw out a general disclaimer. My camera's auto focus is not working right so some of these pics will be a bit fuzzy as I doing the manual focus thing. And that's the ONLY reason why they are fuzzy.

:cheers:

I know that Tim and myself are in the middle. Tim's wife, Jenn, took this one and a few others.

At one point I started counting people on the balcony. I got to 73 and stopped because I couldn't see around the far corner.

That's all folks. Until next year, :cheers:

that was the best time we had all week .
thanks blake, rodger ,tim

I remember seeing a flash at one point and couldn't focus for a few minutes...now I know who took the picture :lol:

No thank you for providing the entertainment!!
i can still hear Stacy laughing

Blake,

GREAT RECEPTION! I agree - best time I had all week!

Having the balcony was so much better than being inside! Thanks again for all you do and have done for all of 'us'.


:lateral: :cheers: :woot:

We need to not let this go much further without thanking Anita, Lisa Marie, and Tony Rose's wife Jennifer for all the hard work getting the room ready and getting everything set up! We are guys, car guys at that, this would not have been half the party it was if it was just up to us, they deserve some huge thanks!
Tim

:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


TOTALLY AGREE! X's 1000

I totally agree Tim! And thanks for listing Jennifer, she loves to help...but it's always nice to be mentioned...I'll let her know you have done so! :cheers:

They did a kick ass job, I think you should just have a party next year? maybe a two or three night deal?
It was the the best time we had all week.

Tim, nice to see your part of the Speed Tech Family.

You guys are Killer.


Tom Argue

What they said! Thanks to all the Speed Tech crew and the wives for pulling off a killer party! Great to see everyone there and meet some new folks too. Good times!!

Thanks Everyone!
 

Although I don't post often, or ever :D , I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who joined our gathering. We had a blast and loved the variety of conversations happening around the room/patio. My wife, Lisa-Marie (bartender) and I are still driving back as we have made our way to Seattle from Las Vegas to LA. Anyways, also wanted to thank Jennifer, Jennifer and Carl for their help :hail: . Looks like we need to keep this thing going and need a bit of a bigger place next year. Great friends make great gatherings!Thanks for the pics Carl :thumbsup:
Stacey, you hair looks great! LOL :D

Roger

I finally get to post! I know its an older thread, but I wanted to extend my thanks to Roger and everyone at Speedtech and Killer for having myself and the guys from HPI Customs to their party! Ordered our first subframe and are looking forward to using it!!!

It was great talking to everyone there!
