Good to hear Bill!
I know one thing for sure....Greg LOVES these events and has a great time 'working' them!

It's been fun to see this PT/G-machine hobby go from concept, to many projects (some still are!

), to now having driving events year round to actually USE the cars for what they were built to do! Without guys like Bill making it happen...well it basically just wouldn't! Thanks Bill and all you other guys that make events like this truely happen and go on without a hitch! Every year there are more dates to put on the calender...how cool is that!

Hopefully we will see some results by tonight.

Yep, Jay can sure drive! I believe he finished 5th overall @ Optima. The Nova was a new car then and he had never driven that track before...that really says alot about his skills and the car!!

Great weekend guys, and stay tuned, August 19,20 may be a date you need to mark down.....

Just one note here for now. A lot of us here know and pick on Greg Weld here at LG. I want to make a public Thank You to Greg for the relentless work he and his crew did for the RTTCII event. He drove down on his dime, donated to the event, and then spent two full days running the autocross scoring. I think he got about 5 laps around the autocross for his trouble. By mistake, he was even charged for lunch one day????? Refund coming Greg! It is guys like Greg and Chuck Felton that make it possible for us to do these events, hands down could not do it without them. When you are thanking people for events, remember it is the Greg Welds of the world that make it really happen..... Thanks Greg!

Bill -- you name the dates and I think most will find a way to make it happen. Great event you guys all put on. Very professional and organized.

And Greg Weld is an unsung hero and his effort, as well as the other volunteers, cannot be appreciated enough. Thanks to Greg and all the other helpers that made it as smooth as it was.

Love ya buddy!

I love these events and the PEOPLE that make it all happen - The sponsors, The guys that put it all on, and the guys that compete! It's a great community we have....

Forget the lunch Bill.... the food was well worth the cost of entry!

You guys that DID NOT come down --- YOU are missing something! Doctor Renners taco party -- The cruising -- the stops at Spectre and TCI -- the disco ball at the Mexican restaurant at the hotel -- the carnage of Yancys' Camaro -- the smokin' hot laps Nathan put up in Bad Penny.... Guys -- you can't buy that kind of stuff for any amount of money - and those of you that aren't there, need to start to be there, or at one of these other well run events! Period.

XOXO
Still in Napa (not the blue parts store either)....

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Greg and Bill you really did a great job and cannot be thanked enough! This was blast and like Greg said if you have not been to one of these events you need to at least come out and check it out, you will not be disappointed!

A special thanks need to go out to Greg for letting my 22 year old brother room with him. After Greg saw 3 of us squeezing into one room he let Craig be his room mate!

I have to say that i event was like a well oiled machine! I could not believe how much time we got on the track, especially sunday! To be able to do all the events twice in one day was amazing! to have that many people together and everything go as smooth as it did is no small feat, my hemet is off to everyone who helped put this event on!

on a side note i am STOKED on how well our "Bad Idea" 55 chevy did! To come out and run with the big boys (and girl) on its first real outing was great!

Thanks again every one,
Kyle

No question Greg is one of a kind and we need more of them in this world.
Being in Oregon and seeing gray skies for a couple months now. I was happy as a pig in SH!T. The sun was out both days( a bit cold) but I got a nice sunburn and got my fill of vitamin D.

Greg even let me drive the Barak Obama mercedes around the autocross a couple times. Not many guys would let anyone do that. Brian Finch ran a few laps with the mercedes and put down some impressive times.

This was the second RTTC I have been to and volunteered at. These events are a blast and recommend if you have a car get out there and use it. I can't wait for my car to get finished, so I can come to this event and participate.

Also glad the weather held!

I will be getting all the data for the story soon and will see if I can get some up here.

In short..

DSE won the road course.. DSE came in third I think on the autocross (Mary Pozzi second).. DSE had the best start/stop time.. I think I might have been second and Ryan fourth

I do know the top speed challenge (in the brake deal) was

Kyle DSE at 97 mph
Rupp at 96 mph
Magnaflow Truck
Ryan from DSE (94 I think)

Sucks loosing by 1mph.. lol

DSE did NOT win the Road corse Jay Weir driving the SpeedTech Nova did. Unless there is a mistake and I just drove back to Canada with Mr DSE's trophy on the front seat of our truck.

Steve DSE DID NOT win the road course. if they did then Brian Did not win the whole thing!

Speedtech WON the ROAD course!!!

Yep, Greg was working his ass off out there. Working that timer and recording everyone's times all day long for 2 straight days is mind-numbing work. Thow in dealing with all the hiccups in the system and I would've been drinking Goo Gone by the end of the day. Greg, thank you so much. You da man.

Sounds like there's a bit of a discrepency. There was a post this evening to 'the other website' that's a big apology from the event organizers to Ryan Matthews and DSE for not announcing and awarding him the title for the road course in the vendor class with his 1:02 time.
