Mike, Julie and the rest of the crew,
What a fun event! It was great to hang with some oval guys I haven't seen in years, and watch some STELLAR 6-cell mod oval. Man that looks fun! I had a great time freezing my tail off pitting out by the pool, and I was totally blown away by how well you guys stuck to the schedule. Loads of fun. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication you all put in to get a race like this together.

Some people are just grumpy, maybe that's why they don't like seeing people have fun. I'm sure everybody was a straight edge when they were younger.
And we're not rock stars we're RC car drivers, which is the same thing. Our hobby will never be rock star status until we all act like it.

This was our third birds. Between cold /no sleep/ no heat/people getting sick, I'd say showing up for the mains was at an all time high. I know several who left on Sat. They were sick. As far as the drinking goes if your over 21 then you can drink or not, that is your right. How about the two female tourists in the pool!!!!! They cause more of a stir then the racers did.
JPH there is an old rule it's called the fifty mile rule. What happens 50 miles from HOME never happened. I was there with my entire family and I didn't see anything that was offensive to me or my family.

And for those who think because some troll chick blames one guy for something, I was there...very funny to watch.. that "everybody is a cancer" and needs to leave the hobby? Come'on. Fun draws people in.

drunk people: being my thrid snowbirds, i saw far fewer drunk people wandering the hotel this year than in years past, no hammered touring stock champions asking the trophy girls to play putt-putt golf with him, LOL!
not running mains: i didnt run the expert 19t B-Main, got three hours of sleep the night before the mains and was awake @ 5am to prep my car for the 12th stock a-main which was race 6, and then the stock TC main which was race 17. joel's a great guy for running his main, but he did not have to get up as early as i did, all his races were many hours later in the day, and after corner marshalling for the stock TC main went to my room and slept for a little while, sorry if that makes me a bad person. go to the birds and wrench/race from sunday to sunday and tell me if you feel up to it.
finally thanks to mike, ernie p, all the snowbirds staff and tech crews, very good race again this year.
now im gonna go get an oval car so i can experience my "diff chirpin Knack-Knacks off two and four" and hopefully i dont "shit-stab the pipe coming into three"
sorry these were my favorite left turn only quotes from the weekend.

I looked for them, just didnt rent a car so i was limited in my search.
My favorite thing was staying up till 4am the first day of practice to hear oval start and than feeling so bad for the track guys cause the first car put a 4 inch rip in the carpet.

Well, I guess we'll all agree that it's ok to disagree on the subject .... 
Except for Derek ... I'm not grumpy! You're grumpy! LOL You didn't even stop bye our pits and say hello ... a$$!
Mike and Crew do a fantastic job every year. I don't know how one guy can hold it all together so well. The schedule was the best ever, the track was the best one yet .... I'll be back again next year for sure.

1st practice - wow!!! 2 minutes in and a car hit the ice and ripped it about 4 inches of it (had to run to Lowes at 5am and get new stuff). Then 3 minutes into the 1st practice a sprint car and 1/12th car plow together and the carpet ripped worse than I have ever seen. Talk about being freaked out. This was all within the 1st couple minutes. The new carpet glue we have worked awesome and no one noticed. It repaired perfect. But man I thought we were in for a long week. I felt like throwing up!
Thanks for the comments!

I always miss talking to somebody, you can kick me next time you see me. Sorry to not stop by, I'll make it up to you some how. But next time please have a keg of Guinness and no less than 3 models to lure me over.
