Thank You All for Attending
Hello All,
Hope everyone had a safe and uneventful trip back home.
I just wanted to thank all of you for attending the 2010 Motor State Challenge. It appears that we are determined to start this event off in grand fashion with the weather. Sorry our BBQ at Warren Dunes was rained (STORMED) out. It's a beautiful park and I know many of you would have taken advantage of the photo opportunity. Good news is, we can schedule it again for next year and give it another try. It's a beautiful place - when there isn't 70 MPH winds and pounding rain....Ha! Ha!
We'll get the results of the track day and autocross day posted on our web site very soon. I know some are already floating around but some official post will be made soon. We'll also be loading a ton of great pictures in our photo libraries as well so stay tuned to the Motor State and Lane Automotive web sites. Steve will also be posting official results and photo links on Grassroots Motorsports and Classic Motorsports sites as well.
I just wanted to take a few minutes to send everyone a note to tell you all Thank You for being part of a very special event.
I'll have a more complete run down of the event tomorrow but I wanted to jump on here today to at least say thank you to everyone.
I'm already looking forward to next years event.
Congratulations to Brian Finch 1st, Mark Stielow 2nd, and Jeff Schwartz 3rd for your overall finishes in the 2nd Annual Motor State Challenge.
Sincerely,
Scott Wahlstrom
Thanks for putting on such a great
event. Everyone know of my 2 blown tires on the trailer with no spare that turned a 13 hour trip into an 18 hour trip. Or the third blown trailer tire on the way home....but with all of those problems, it was the most fun I have had with my car. Gingerman was a blast.
I would consider myself a first timer on the track. Randy Bell offered his assistance but I wanted to learn the track first. Spun on my second lap. Humbling expierence, but I needed it. I rode with Randy to learn the line and he rode with me my next 2 trips out as the best coach I could have had. Huge difference in my confidence and car control. Randy made my trip....well that and seeing Ron in his underwear.
My vote would be for 2 days at Gingerman even if it meant a higher cost of an entry fee.
I will be back next year with a better car and hopefully a better skills.
