Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoy running with you guys. A year ago a course like Saturday's would terrify me, but as I'm gaining experirence I was confident. No DNF's which was a first for me on such a large course Thanks for working with me on assigments. Previous kart crashes and age have caught up to the point to where you can walk and the bear would get me first. Again thanks to everyone for your help and ecouragment

I'm really glad to hear about that Robert. I can really see improvement from the start of the year till now. There was one event I wanted to go on course with a sign that said turn here. So I'm really excited about the improvement that your making. Keep it up bro!!!

I've never run with you guys before but hats off to the entire region!
Super fun course, just like a national level course...I didn't hit the rev limiter a single time so speeds were perfect, well paced slaloms and offsets, a couple of slow spots with varying radius turns, line choice was available and made a difference.
Organization was great with a couple minor hicups in timing, but when doesn't that happen.
If I had a wish list for your region it would be an FM radio station for an announcer but other than that small detail you ran a high quality event!
Now off to Nationals to run A Stock...wish me luck! (I'd much rather be lucky than good...lol)
I'll be back next year to do this venue again.

We do usually have announcers, but we couldn't find our frickin microphone!!! Hence why AJ yelled and screamed (more than normal).

If we could have found the mic you would have been blessed with the unique and colorful announcing of our very own John Byrd. Nothing quite compares to it. The guys here can back me on that haha. |

I guess I'm not a slow driver after all. I just need the right platform.

Results are being worked on. We don't know what happened, but corrected a lot before we left. We will do our best to get them close to right. Thank you for the kind words. I believe our region continues to grow stronger each month with how we do things. We have tried a lot of new things, at least to us, and has kept it interesting. We will continue to improve. We are working on better means of communication at and before an event, this has been a struggle. The course was great. Thank you Hodges. I was able to hit limiter in two places in an STS miata with a stock ecu.  |

Walter, thank you. For both the kind words and looking through results. Noted. I felt I should have gone 1/2-3/4 second quicker on my last run, but some mistakes, oh well. I was defintely way ahead. That car is getting so close to right. I'm thinking of staying it next year and going to nationals if we can get it right. If that is the case, I will be in pro class |

FYI, he was only out there during ST (group 2). flic.kr/s/aHsjBpPnmUHad to get him to upload the rest of his pics (not of the mini) - he's just getting started with photography and this was his first event so he didn't think they were worthy... |

Results are updated and SHOULD be correct now. There are a few runs that are missing, but I've fixed all the duplicated times for everyone. Season points are updated as well, and now I'm going to attempt to merge anything like the William/Bill Baker situation in STX that was point out earlier.
If anyone notices any other discrepancies in the times, send me a PM and I'll take a look at it.
Alright... it's beer time!

Thanks for the hard work on that Mr Duckworth. I'm sure it can be a complex and tedious process.

Just noticed Travis and Kenny, both in NSTX, are still messed up. I'll fix it when I get home.

Dang, so my faster time got added and I moved DOWN a spot!!! Guess I neglected to think that others may have their fastest time left out before as well... can we go back to the way it was?!?!?
