Stacy, myself and the staff here at Detroit Speed wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for the Run Through The Hills.

Coordinating an event of that scale and diversity is a tremendous effort so first and foremost; Bill, Melinda, Larry and everyone else who worked so hard to make it happen need to take a bow.

Second, everyone who participated needs to be recognized as well. There's a large number of people who travelled a great distance to be there. With the cost of fuel, lodging and other expense associated with travel, it takes a serious commitment to make the journey. This includes the vendors who came also. The fact that so many people were there from literally every corner of the country shows how dedicated everyone is to our hobby. If RTTH is any indication, our hobby will grow for years to come.

And lastly, as someone who enjoys pro touring, driving pro touring cars, autocrossing, drag racing and everything else associated with our hobby, I want to thank everyone for making it what it is. The friendly competition among the drivers, clubs, vendors and everyone else is what fuels the progress of pro touring. That friendly competition is also what fuels everyone to constantly improve their cars to be better multi-taskers. We saw that this weekend. There were literally dozens of cars that are tri-atheletes that you could race, jump in and drive across the country and then drive to work on Monday morning.

That is what pro touring is all about and it takes everyone to make it successful.

We look forward to seeing you all at next year's event!

Thanks Again,

Kyle Tucker
