It would depend on the situation as to which would shine. But the most important factor would be the driver.

I dunno it just felt different than the previous years events. It felt like this year people were put into groups instead of choosing groups. People in the "fast" group with really no experience on the track or running the 3 sisters seemed different than the way it has been in previous years.

Not a complaint really, the overall event was awesome as usual. There is no way to make everyone happy and you guys do a great job of making the event a pleasant one.

Yeah, I will openly admit I screwed up the groups this year. Even the lead car in group A mentioned by the first "get out and strech your leg" stop that people needed to be moved around. Some people turned out better (and in one case, way better) and some turned out worse than previously thought. I had a lot going on the week into the event that I usually use for prepping and thinking about stuff that I didn't get this time I will try to make sure its alittle better for next time.

And yes making people happy is extremely hard, especially when you're trying to make sure you aren't throwing what you want yourself (myself) under the bus while doing so. Not sure what it was about this year, but I learned alot more than I have in the previous years. I need to make sure that people understand next year that if you aren't keeping up with a group that you need to let people pass you when there is a chance. There were alot of changes at stops, but still not enough.

Well, there is always room for improvement in everything we do and this thing is still young so every year I am sure you guys learn something to help make teh following year a little better.

Again, I appreciate all you guys do and I had a great time, I can't wait until next year. I think next year we should have some car show action but of course Tito has to be excluded

I was exhausted when we got back to Tulsa Sunday night! I am SO ready for another one though!!! Thanks to everyone who put it together, the sponsors, Jay and Scott for leading the B group and everyone for being so nice to us and welcoming us! It has me definitely ready for next year!!! I want to try and run behind Jay Scott and Krys next year in B group and keep up with them. I loved it and the 8 is still begging for me...she is pulling me all over the place wanting speed and turns!!! LOL.

To Thomas, thanks for putting this together with your crew and also thank you so much for offering up your house and letting us stay there Thursday night...that was awesome man!

Thank you to all of you, you made me and the wife feel like we belonged to the group and we were welcomed there. No one out-casted anyone and everyone spoke to everyone! I learned a lot of this trip with the car and how to drive it. Next years goal is to be lined up behind the first 3 that led B group this year and let it rip!!!

So...since we are all ready for another run...where are we at on planning maybe a summer trip down to somewhere to run again as a group???

Apple Ice cream...never heard of it until this weekend...it was awesome!!! I am glad Misty and Mike were able to get some this year...even though we spend a little time on the side of the road with a cop...I just knew we were going to miss the ice cream lol.

And thank you to the Tulsa crew...Jimmy, Travis, James and Cliff...you guys are awesome for introducing me and letting me follow you down...cant wait for more get togethers with you guys!!!

HELL OF A WEEKEND!!!

Missy, Contact one of the Administrators for assistance. You can get your account back, however I'm not sure the deleted items can be recovered.

love the music.

Oh well, we all know why we got pulled over. It's because your Mexican and they thought you were smuggling immigrants in a caravan of RX8's

Now post up the good vids!!
