First, to Cam, Jimi, FM3, Ryan, Kristen, all the volunteers, sponsors and all the others that worked so hard to make this happen, I really appreciate all the hard work that went into making this a success.
Now, as far as my performance....not so good..haha
I did manage to finish 20th on the road course portion and got the final point, so I was happy with that. Considering it was an improvement over last year's time and the fact that there were a lot more competition this time, I was happy to finish in the points. Speed/Stop is tough when you are driving a boat and no excuse for my Autocross, I absolutely blew that portion.
However, I did not go looking to win, I just wanted to be a part of one of the biggest events in our piece of the hot rodding scene again this year and left happy to have been a part of it. I really think with the real TV personalities this year, we will get a much better show and hopefully it will help draw the masses in the car world to start paying attention to this thing we know as Protouring.
I challenge everyone to pay attention to the event schedule this coming year once all the dates get sorted and make an effort to attend at least one. You never know, you could end up with an invite to next year's event. It was truely rewarding to see so many cars there this year that had attended events from all over the country this this season. Even Mark, the eventual winner got his invite at the Motorstate event.
Thanks again guys for a wonderful time.
