I wanted to tell all those who came out to support this event thank you for making it happen. I also wanted to give a shout out to Glen for dragging that monster of a trailer out to the lot on Wednesday and pulling it out on Sunday. A big thanks to BTZ, the Pallazolas, Walter Diaz, Chris Verano, Don Hirami, Jerry Rapp, Rodger from Tamiya, Brian Nakahara, Joe Thomas (B's little bro) and I hope I am not forgetting to mention anyone else who came out to build the race track on Wednesday night. I hope everyone enjoyed the layout and the improved tire wear too.

Thank you to Billy B. running a firm and fair race program. BT and Robert at KO Propo for keeping this event on the calender and hopefully for years to come and all the sponsors who supported the event.

Congradulations to Walter and Paolo for taking the checkers and Mike and Diatta for taking the TQ's.

And a thank you to Paul Wright for helping me sort out my tuning issues. Diatta and John Angle for pitting me. Mr. Strack for hooking me up with the extras! And BTZ for going through the all the effort to put this race on.

I would like to thank all the racers that supported the 3rd Annual KO PROPO race event. You guys made my job easy, fun and thank you for the gratitude.

Special Thanks goes out too Robert & Amy Morris from KO PROPO, Brian Thomas and crew for all the hard work they put in for this event to make happen for us racers. A little rain didn't stop you die hard racers from coming out and supporting this event and that is why the rain gods stayed away knowing how important the race meant to you guys. The race was exciting and very closes all week end. Congrats to everyone and hope to see you all at the Golden State Nitro Series starting in June.

I would like to give a BIG thanks to all the racers that traveled from Texas, New York, Hawaii, Florida and all the other states I might not have mentioned, that was awesome for you racers to show up and support the KO race.

I hope everybody made it home o.k. and thank you again.

Billy

It has taken me a couple of days to write on this thread about the great race last weekend. My fingers finally thawed so I can now type!!!

First I wish to thank my representative driver for GQ Racing Tires Diatta Collymore. Diatta was TQ for the 1/10th Sedan Expert class by over 3 seconds I believe. Thank you Diatta for the great job!!!

If you did not get a chance to meet Diatta, next time around please do so. Diatta is a very nice guy and full of information that he is always willing to share with a smile on his face.

I was proud to be a sponsor for this race that was put on by Brian, Billy, and Robert. I have know Billy for at least 25 years and he has never changed. Give him a mike and a soap box and there will not be a quiet moment! Kidding Billy, Love ya man!!!

I am looking forward to next years KO Propo race ! Of course I am hoping for less wind and more degrees warmer!!!
