Reply With QuoteI want to thank all of the racers for coming and supporting the Worlds!! I need to thank Hurricane Larry Pelligrini and Big Matt Skurka for all their hard work even late nights working on the best power ever put on a track! Thank Erkle and Pop's for all of their help on all the day to day work and long hours.
Special thanks to Bill Skinner for all his help in organizing the event, endless hours making the best tires in the world!!!!!!! Stupidfast Thunder rubber tires were so fast and held up great!!!
I do regret not updating the webcam and some of JPVR comments although harsh maybe true. The use of full names and posting complete qualifying results should have been done. (my bad) Knowing the sytem needed to be updated I choose to spend the money on the track power, track, inventory and updating the air conditioning system and felt it was more important to meet the needs of the racers, who were coming to support the event. Being a "peasent" of limitted means I had to pick and choose what I felt was more important for the event. Having the lap counter update evey ten seconds I find annoying at best. Realizing that we where not getting much support for this event by American racers, I actually considered a black out. (no webcam) In talking to a lot of racers before the event, they told me they were not coming but were just going to watch it on webcam instead. Things that make you go Hmmm.
If you do not attend a event such as this, you really miss the atmosphere of it. To see the Czech racers perform and think outside the box is just awesome. Watching Heiko from Germany run one motor in gp27 for 24 heats quarter, semi and main unreal. When I asked him why he said it was the only good one he had. He finished third and was still running 1.9's in the last heat, just amazing!!!
What can I say about the Brazilian racers, they have become some of the best racers in the World!! They are one of the classiest group of people in the sport today. Filipe Silva's drive in the open race having Beuf and the Czech's coming after him, was one of the best, I have ever seen. This man stayed cool as a cucumber. I would have needed a hand full of Prozac.
I also want to give a special thanks to the American racers who did support the event. Paul Beuf Pedersen who maybe the best builder and racer we have ever had. Not only tries to help the raceway but is a blast to be around and always leaves it all on the track. Forrest Watchers had some great runs and would have made the main in opens, if not for a chassis breaking shot. And all the rest of the American racers, I am very proud of you.
I want to thank all of the sponsors for classes:
Stupidfast, Balance by Beuf, Piranha Products, Koford Eng, ARP, and Chicks Hobbiz Your support means everything!!!
I am sure I have forgotten people to thank but will update after some more sleep.
