Good morning all,

What an incredible event put on by some great volunteers who showed a true passion for the hobby. The facility must be one of the best in Canada, certainly better then anything I have ever been to. It's comparable to a smaller Nitro Pit which is a huge compliment in my books. Way to go guys for raising the bar for all tracks in Canada.

I can't thank Neil and John enough for everything they did. Not only did I learn an incredible amount by just watching one of the best engine gurus in the business but I also learned a great amount from John on how to keep racers happy and put on a great event. We racers can be a finicky bunch.

It was great meeting Lawrence, Nick and Josh who did an incredible job building the track and prepping the soil. Once again I learned a great deal and hope to bring some of the ideas back to the Maritimes. Lawrence is a great example of what a hobbyist should be, he works hard, races hard, volunteers like a mad man BUT at the end of the day he was never happier then when his wife arrived to support him. He remembers its a hobby to enjoy.

The Edmonton or Alberta Crew that was on hand had some real talent and it was great watching them hit the track. Wayne and "Chiko" had some incredible runs, great to watch. Nobody owned that triple like Chiko's truggy, ! Power and precision !

Great job to Steve ( RC PRO DIRECTOR ) for organizing such a great finals. The work he must put in to keep it organized would be immense, thanks.

It was great meeting the "Fords" and having such a great RD was a real treat.

A big thanks to Dave, his family and will for all the rides, HOT coffee and the best meal I had while there. Thanks guys.

Dave, Will and Tom it was great meeting or seeing you again. Dave I love your controlled style of driving and thanks for the help and advice.

Alright, I'll shut it now. It was worth every penny to get my ass up there and I look forward to next years final.
