Wonderful day at the track; the passion of the racers and the passion of the cause were a perfect match. Thanks SIR for another imaginative reason to race.

Thanks to all of the people who came out to make it such a fun event. I noticed lots of smiles and lots of laughing. Thanks to Doug and his family for making it happen and thanks to my wife for being so passionate to starting the groundwork early. I'm proud of her!
Thank you also Steve for letting me have some fun by lending me your equipment. I'm not ready to get into it like I was in the past but thanks to the battle I had with Todd at the end I really want to be a regular again on Friday nights in 13.5. Of course, with Steve's X-Ray

Oh yeah Grant. My wife is the proud owner of your Silver Can. She got it for a bargain price of $2.02

Pease flushed a hard to eat one year old half eaten donut down like a champ like he promised.

Thank you all for a great day of racing!!!!

Talking THANK YOU

I would just like to say THANK YOU SIR and especially DOUG, his WIFE, his SON, DAUGHTER and the star of the day GRACE. I have not been to a race where I saw more sportsmanship, friendships, and just all out fun being had by all. With a car that didn't handle and getting worse with every wrench session I put on it, I can by far say that this was one of the most FUN days I have had racing in a long time. The show went on without a hiccup except for the donut incident, and I plan on attending more racing at SIR any chance I can.
Thank you DOUG and all your staff, yes even Kevin.
I hope you all had as much fun as I did and if this is what it's like every week count me in even if it is 100 miles from the house.
THANKS Mike Turner

I think I heard a 10.0 during the day.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support the race. Everyone there made it as fun as it was. Also thanks to RCWIFE for her tireless efforts.

I wanted to take a minute to say thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible. There are so many to name, and I am certain I am forgetting some. The Northwest is an awesome area full of very caring RC men and women, and I know this year we succeeded last year (and next year will do even better)!

Thank You
