This event has auto crossed at the same location for 5 years including this one. I couldn't make this years event, but have attended and auto crossed in this parking lot for the past four. I've also attended several other events which were either put on by Mr. Howell or that he was a major force in organizing.

I have never been to one of Mr. Howell's events where safety wasn't taken seriously. I've always felt that good safety checks and rules were in place to ensure both the enjoyment of participents and spectators as well as their safety.

At the inaugural motorstate challenge, RTMC, and RTTH I felt as though things were ran smoothly and competently. I applaud Bill for creating the most enjoyable form of car and enthusiast gathering available at this point in time.

No one is forced to drive beyond their limits or levels of comfort and competency. If a new attendee is pushing too hard they are usually asked to either rain it in a little or sit out the rest of the segment. This is not only done by Bill but also other attendees in a nice fashion. This way one persons over exuberance will not ruin a good thing for us all.

If you haven't met or don't know MR. Howell Then you should keep the judgemental comments to yourself. This gentleman of his own innitative, takes his personal time and effort to organize put on and oversee these events at a break even, no-profit margin for all of our enjoyment. He is straight forward, honest and personable to all who attend. I for one am glad to consider him a friend to both myself and the hobby.

Comments such as the above ones are the reason for him needing to question others and make changes. Uneducated and unrestrained comments will end this type of event quicker than anything else due to liability and insurance costs. Then we will be left sitting in a parking lot rubbing and shining on static vehicles once again, or putting our nice street cars in wheel to wheel race competition. I for one prefer what we have.
