To say that this race was wonderful would be an understatement of enormous proportions. It has been said before, but this race set new standards for excellence, organization, and just plain fun. Scotty and his crew deserve every accolade they receive and then some. To further illustrate the class exhibited by he and his wife... as a sponsor of the event I received a gift basket in my room in appreciation of our support. TOTAL CLASS ACT. Thanks again Scotty for putting on a race that made the racers feel special and the manufacturers feel appreciated.

Word, That was great. I had so much stinking fun, I almost feel bad.... Almost.....

Learned alot at the same time, 12th scale is still Awesome, Rubber tire on Carpet also, Awesome, Reinhardt... Awesome, Rcscoring pro.... Awesome, there is no system to win roulette, blackjack, or any of the electric bill paying games, I even bet on a horse and lost... Thanks Hodapp..... Should have bet to show not win... Next time I'll go to the horses mouth and ask...... The most awesome part of it all, has to be the fact that this is only attempt number one, imagine how good it'll get from here on out..... TOTALLY AWESOME.

Scotty, You know for sure now, YOU THE MAN HOMIE!

I know where to find the final results, but is there a list somewhere of what drivers were running what cars/equipment?

Keith

Why did you only give them a two day notice when the list was full over 5 weeks before the race.

I think it would be safe to say that this was probably the best race I have ever attended. Wonderful announcing/race directing Scotty! The entire staff did and awesome job, everyday the race was run like a well-oiled machine.

The sunday before, I stopped into Halo Hobbies to pick up some stuff. I was talking with some friends and Randy Bragg mentioned he was registered and not able to attend. He said if I could get there, the spot was mine.

I went home and looked at flights for giggles.. and then spoke with a freind who was going. He said to stay in his room.. We called Scotty the next day and he was cool with it so I booked the flight and then it snowballed from there. My mother flew in from NY to see me, my wife came to hang out with here while she was there.

I called my boss sunday before any plans were finalized.. he didnt feel like answering his phone. I left a detailed message.. explaining what I needed. I called him again monday morning and he said he was busy and would call back to discuss it. 4 hours went by and I called him, again he didnt want to answer his phone. So i booked the flight.

Open it with MS Word and it shouldn't be garbled. I'm sure they will be up on the official site in a day or so. The whole crew had a LOT of work to do to get that place cleaned up and get home. Give them a (well deserved) day to rest. They'll get the full results up soon.

Jeff,

Open the file and copy the contents, then open up word pad (in Microsoft windows)and paste in there and everything will line up
