Thanks EA I am glad you were enjoyed yourself this year.As far as the track being bumpy we work hard all week to get it sorted out by the end it was not too bad.Thanks to crew for thier hard work at 3 am to get it much better.I am glad tech was much better all around I know several people worked very hard reworking it and so forth so that it was good for everyone.But that all being said we will still try to improve things again for next year.We will start working on it again in about 3 months lol.
On another note you tuned a motor for my main I have to say it was totally the best motor I have ran in awhile.Sadly I couldn't find you on sunday to thank you in person.

THANKS!!
I'd like to congadulate all the guys that TQ'd and Won at the Champs in Cleveland.
Paul Lemieux - 2 TQ's and 2 Wins in Touring Car. Impressive. Was never passed by another car all weekend.
Barry Baker - HEEEEE'S BAAAACK! Impressive head-up driving Barry. Real happy for you.
Eli Ezrow - 2 TQ's and 2 Wins! Is this guy actually John Force with a bearded disguise? Eli seems to be as consistent in winning this race as Force is at drag race championships.
Josh Cyrul - Winner of 19t 1/12th. Great to see you smiling on that podium.
Protoform was on 6 of 8 TQ cars and A-main winners.
Jon Orr - TQ in Mod 1/12th
Sean Cochran - TQ in 19t 1/12th
Jilles Groskamp - ballistically fast in 1/12th Mod. Next time dude.
A sincere thanks to all the guys listed as well as anyone else that chose Protoform Racebodies at the US Indoor Champs.

Just got home from my first US Champs. Interesting race - have never been to an event that had that many drivers. All-in-all aside from some week-long bad luck, had the following positive experiences:
- Jilles Groskamp: one word - CLASS!!! For a top-driver to wake-up as early as he did and race his main with the small group as he did was AWESOME. This guy had some really bad-luck in 19T all weekend, but sucked-it-up and went out to race his main never-the-less. Knowing that he was racing with some drivers that may never get the chance to run with him - and being very courteous about it... Jilles has earned several new fans. The hobby needs more racers like Jilles.... unlike some of the other racers that decided that if they didn't make the A or B main, they were not going to show-up ... I sure hope their sponsors are proud of them
- Paul Lemieux: not only one of the most gifted drivers in the hobby, one of the nicest. One of our local racers made an error in soldering his motor on backwards and only found out right before his qualifier .... the first guy to lend a hand was Paul Lemieux. Another great spokesperson for the hobby. This guy truly deserves all the success that he gets on the track.
- Watching some of the best drivers in the world race live was an experience in itself. To see how close these guys are in hitting their marks time-after-time shows the skill that they have in wheeling RC cars around an unforgiving track.
The US Champs was an experience and I am glad that I made the trip out to Cleveland (well really Independence) to see it first hand.
