definitely not as big as previous years, the price had a lot to do with it. hopefully next year it will be reduced. this year we actually made the most money out of any previous years due to how many spectators there were. next year we will hopefully get the price down for the race cars. its been a long azz weekend and its time to go to sleep. i did get to meet gt420hp and his very nice evo8.

overall it was a pretty cool event. i just couldn’t justify the 40 for 330ft either. i’d do it if it was about half of that for sure. got to see some pretty nice cars run, including quik’s truck a few times (that he got to race himself).

Geat weather for the event. It started a little slow at 11:00 AM regarding crowds, but by 2:30 PM I thought the crowds were pretty good. Lots of bikes out there later in the day. Nice to meet you TeamWRX, too bad you had to work the event.

I had fun taking down some cars…only lost to the Vega with the parachute:(

me? no i didnt lose that day. and was only on spray a couple times. others were N/A. was only spraying with 600psi which is extremely low.[bottle heater fuckedup] it should be around 1000 to get full power. so think of it like half the shot

you seen the races i did. i had two others but were solo runs
