My first cactus is in the books,
Had a blast for sure. The last minute change threw me a little bit of a curve ball in tire selection, and put a hurting in the budget, bit it is what it is. I think maybe the MX compound would have been a better choice for me vs. the X2's I ran. Live and learn.
Well run race program for sure. Scotty does awesome work on the mic. Though he credited the racers for making the program run so smoothly, which is partly true, though I thought he was selling himself a little short, as he played a big enough part in things and how the race program went for the week.
Good to see a number of people that I usually get to see at the DNC. By far the two best events I have traveled to, and well worth doing so, IMHO. I think I'm already planning on making the Cactus again next year. Hit the last outdoor one, have to hit the first indoor one. There's only one of each. LOL.
Thanks to all that helped in making the event what it was and what it's been known for all these years,
Adam, the whole SRS crew, both in the shop and around the track. Those guys busted some serious tails to make sure a lot of things were done and setup so people like this guy could come down for a week and play.
Also enjoyed seeing/meeting a number of racers/families that I might have met before and couldn't put a name to a face or faces, or those I hadn't met until this year.
Joe Lacey, John Watkins, Ashley Peeler (the Ausie duo, who did quite well), Scotty E., Ricky Gaynor, CJ, Humpty, Landon Lewis and family, Ron Schuur, and a host of others that I'm probably forgetting.
Looking to see all again next year.

Big thanks to Lance Tanner who hooked myself and Ash up with all the Pit setup.
Track was extremley tough and technical at times and thats way i like it, i love the sugar and the atmosphere was electric especially on Sunday.
Congrats to all involved in putting this massive event together and congrats to all the winners and Joe Blow Average racers that make it a trully outstanding event.
See you all next year.........

Not much to see from the front doors....
Trust me we are more excited than all of you are to have this all done. Progress is going forward and we are close to having everything from the city. Once we have all that in place we will let you know what is going on and when.
After a couple false starts per say we do not want to jump the gun this time.
More to come soon if all goes well. Like us on Facebook to hear more news.
