Another great event in the books. A big thank you to Brian Thomas,crew and Greater LA Club as always for organizing and putting on another great run event.

Thanks to all the sponsors for their donations and involvement in this event and for giving back to the racers.

We saw some great racing, some ups and downs but in the end I saw everyone coming out to enjoy our hobby/sport. Thank you to all the racers and pit persons for coming out and we look forward to next year's event.

Lastly, thank you to Billy and Tracy of Acorn Racing USA for coming out with their trackside parts support. I know it's hard to just come down with a full load of parts for the racers, but you also managed to be the bump up king this weekend!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that it takes to make this race possible. Between Brian, Chris, Robert and the entire club, I know it must be a lot of work and hard to stay motivated sometimes. The track was in great form and everyone looked to have a good time. Glad to see such high competition at the race and see everyone at the Nationals.

Thanks again guys,
