My Official Thanks Thread

[JEFFTATE]

Guys , I've been a little busy this weekend with the aftermath of the event , so I just now got a chance to get on the board and post .
Whew !!
What a weekend ..

I just want to start by saying thanks to all the participants that came out and paid their hard earned money to spend a weekend doing something that David and I planned ..You guys trusted us , and I hope we didn't let you down..

Thanks to David and Tammy Sloan of Road Killer Kustoms for the idea for the event and financing it up front.
And for securing the Autocross location and the snack bar .

Thanks to Brian Finch for bringing the incredible yellow 2nd Gen Camaro , '65 Corvette , and Mark Turner's '69 Camaro down from Nashville.
It's always great to see Brian drive !
He brings a level of excitement and noticability to the event.


Thanks to all the sponsors that paid extra to have their name associated with the event . If you guys hadn't cared a little extra , then we wouldn't be able to do this thing ..I hope you got the exposure you wanted and you sell some products.

Sponsors were :
AutoRad
Fletchers Customs
Twist Machine
RnD Fabrication
red top Auto Auction
Road Killer Kustoms
Musclerides .com
Pro-Touring.com
Days Chevrolet

Like I've said before , everyone on this forum is either building a car or wants to build car , and these sponsors have products and services that we need , so buy from them when the time comes..

One Special Mention is for Steve Chryssos , he drove all the way up here ( 7hrs) from Florida to help with the event , and gave away tons of Twist Machine merchandise, and he didn't even have his car available. A lot of guys would have cancelled the trip if they couldn't bring their car , but Steevo constantly shows his honor and character and enthusiasm for the hobby by going the extra mile ...
Thanks , Steevo !!

Thanks to Bill Howell , Bill constantly donates his time , money , autocross timing equipment , and energy to our hobby..
I don't see how you do it Bill .
And thanks for the advice and management on the event.
Thanks to Mark Owens , Bills right hand man ..
( Bill , I'm sorry I missed the Charger in Sundays Top Ten , I just forgot to count the first session )


Thanks to Larry Callahan for stepping in and handling the making of the logo , the t-shirts , and the banners for the event..
Larry went out of his way and really stepped up to help us this year !!

Thanks to the volunteers who came out and helped without even getting to run car on the track ..

One Special Mention is Stuart Seagrave . ( He was tha guy that looked like Col. Sanders )
Stuart contacted me on June 11th and volunteered to come out and help because he loves the hobby so much and wanted to help us get it on...
Stuart is one of those friendly , helpfull guys that doesn't ask for much.
Thanks Stuart !

I also want to thank Mark Strong , with the RX8 , for helping so much with the course layout and supplying the chalk for marking the cones. The RX8 driven by Mark created a bit of drama because it was very fast , but I wanted this event to be open for the purpose of a challenge ! That was part of my point , it was to let everyone have a good time and compare all different makes and models ..



Thanks to Brad Grainger for staying at the Autocross site all night so we didn't have to take down the course.
