2011 USVTA SOUTHERN NATIONALS IN MUSIC CITY, USA
#109
Batman you should be proud of all the hard work you've put into making this weekend be a great event
Great day of racing.
Thanks Myron for putting this together, I'm glad I was able to make it
GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE GUYS RACING TODAY!!!!
Awesome race! Great racing! Thanks to Mryon, Mryons family, Dirla, EA, Brad, Tim Moore, TJ & hobby lobby, the techs, all the sponsors....and everone else I missed for a great event! I really appreciate all of your efforts! Thanks to all the racers for making the trip and bringing great competion!
Every bit as much fun as Snowbirds. Tough competition, close racing, well-run show, good food, excellent tech. Thanks to Myron and his family for the terrific weekend. And, thanks to Robert for making Thunder-RC possible.
Gosh I had so much fun, the inaugural southern vta nationals was truly an experience. Thanx to everyone behind the race and to everyone who came to race. The competition was extremely close but it was fun. Racers had to constantly step their game up in order to maintain or better their position. Congratulations guys and look forward to doin it again next year! BTW can't wait to see the pics.
Guys I had a blast. I couldn't agree with everyone's comments above more, what a fantastic show. Track looked great...announcing was top notch, and the show ran smooth as silk. Not to mention some AMAZING crashes (That's all I was there for )
Thanks for everyone being patient with me and helping get the voltage of your batteries.
Everyone was crazy nice considering how much a pain in the arse I'm sure it must have been for you all to keep getting your cars tech'd and me having to ask your names over and over again.
Enjoyed meeting a bunch of you all, and look forward to running into you all again. Just sorry I couldn't stay to the end...I'll have to watch the videos.

Some Myron VTA Triva:
Just incase nobody knew why Myron got into VTA racing....well it was because of me. After I beat Myron in 2007 he just couldn't race Dirt again so he went to VTA!
KAZOOOOOOOW! *You can just see the "What the Hell just happened" on his face...classic!
What a 1st class event, HUGE thanks to Myron, Dirla and everyone that put this event on, it was a blast to say the least, I don;t think anyone could be disappointed. Great job, another great day at Thunder!
Oh and a big thanx to all the sponsors for some very nice prizes!!!!
Awesome picture! Thanks to everyone. What a great weekend of racing.

It had to be one of the better race events of the year. Awesome job by EVERYONE. Myron, hats off to you and your family. Thanks to all the sponsors. I watched most of the races yesterday and there was a good "race" in about every one of them. There was competition at every level there! Awesome, awesome job to everyone involved.

Cant say enough about how much fun the 2011 USVTA Southern Nationals was. All I needed to make it better was a better driver for my car lol. Thanks Myron, Robert and all the sponsors for making such a great event.
Finally home. Had a great time all weekend.
Thanks again Myron and family and the crew at Thunder RC. Job well done
Myron- Thanks for the great weekend. You and your family, especially your wife and lovely daughters, put alot, and put up with a lot to get this event going.
With any luck, you'll have a great event for years to come for all of the USGT and USVTA drivers to participate in.
Thanks also to the entire Thunder RC staff for an enjoyable weekend.
I really enjoyed the weekend. I wish I would have figured out my car before the 4th qualifier. I did get in some freestyle work in the VTA C-Main.

Thanks for running a great event.
WOW!! I just watched it, I made some really clean passes but the only one I completely regret was hitting juilio and not only did I hit him but I sent him into the ring which he couldnt get out of. My deepest apologies to you my man, I felt so comfortable racing next to you I thought I could just slide right by in that corner. ROCCK as a group has learned SO much from this event, set up.... setup.... set up. I tearing down the TC5 tomorrow and Im trying to be out at goonies thurs for MORE VTA!!!
A BIG thanks to Eric Whiteside and RJ for helping me with a really messed up TC5.

well its over...the 2011 USVTA Southern Nationals in Music City,USA is behind us and we all need a pat on the back....you guys can thank me all you want, but the fact is, without the racers willing to come and race, the event doesnt happen. You guys are the reason the event was such a huge success, not me....
So from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so very much and I hope to see you all again real soon...
I would like to thank all the sponsors again, you made it a little easier on me with your donations and prizes
I would like to thank Robert Dirla for even allowing me to make this happen. He is a great guy and friend and as long as Im around and able, I will be there to help him and Thunder RC any way I can
I also need to thank Tim Moore, he is the reason for alot of what I do for VTA as well as with my family. I think of him as a good role model and friend. You do so much and never ask for an award, but you deserve so many and you should always consider yourself blessed, just by the way you touch peoples lives, incl mine and my family. thanks again
I would also like to thank the guys that put Thunder RC there to start with. Micheal Skeen,Chuck Moores, Billy Trask, Scott Fuller, Danny D, Chris Carter, and others. These are the guys that I met when I 1st came to TRC and showed me around the track. And they also do alot still to keep the doors open, on and off road
