Well I just got Home Last night after taking a week and a half to get home. All I have to say is I will surely be back next year baring some catastrophic event.... I don't have a lot of time to type yet as I am still getting stuff unpacked and thousands of emails worked threw.
It was great to get to meet all the people I've know on the other side of a keyboard for going on 4 years now. Thanks again for all your work Dale and I will surely be a bigger part of the planning and help for next year
We showed up Tuesday after noon to a very Hot and sticky Topeka and I thought, there is no way this Washington Native will be able to handle this for 5 days..... Well it was a good thing the Humidity went down because I may have died by Sunday ... HEHE
Well Thursday was A blast except for the part with my car running like total crap and not being able to figure out why.... At least I had fun in the corners of the Road course.
Friday Spent most all day Helping Tim (spcforker), Coy and the CSC guys put in Tim's stage 3.... That was a fun time to say the least..... with a little help from Ethan and a fuel pressure gage we were able to figure out my car problems were a bad fuel pump....With a bit of welcome rain some blood and sweat we worked on Tim’s car and finally got out of there about Midnight with stage 3 running good
Saturday Morning was time for me to pull along side Greg (GDflys) and put my cars rear in the air and change the fuel pump also. With help from Greg who just minutes before changed his we got the new one in pretty quickly... Thanks Greg. The Rest of the day I spent hanging with new and old friends and just enjoying the last little bit of the day.
Dunnie Thanks for all your help you gave me and the closer friend you have become I look forward to getting less work in on our cars next year and more on the track and sitting down time
Wade and CJ, It was great to finally get to put my hands on you guys, what time we got to hang and chat was time well spent, all I have to say is I love both you very much and look forward to becoming closer friends.
Phil, Flo and all the other CSC guys.... WOW lets do it better next year; it was a blast working, chatting, hanging and getting frustrated at car parts together. I'll surely be seeing you guy around much more.... You guys ROCK
My NW Buds, Tim, Coy and Randy it was a real great time with you guys..... and I'll be seeing you two tomorrow night for sure I still don't know how you wound up at the same Hotel as I on the way there.... that was really weird Coy....
Dale it was great to finally get to meet and help you out as much as I could, even though it took until Sunday Morning to finally figure out who that other long haired guy who has been hanging around all week was
To everyone else Like SRT, Mopar, MSC and Kicker for really being a big part of this and the people don't have time to thank I really enjoyed the week and will surely be back next year with much more Product to sell and give away.
Glad you had a good time Ron. I know i sure did. Sorry to hear about the car problems man that sucks. Hopefully next year we can get more NW people to join in and have a blast.
Randy
Hey Ron it was great meeting you. Thanks again for the support with the raffle. The winners who received your certificates are in for a big suprise when they see the quality of your work. If the quality of your flares are any indication of the rest of your powder coated products I'm sure everyone will love them. Thanks so much for the flares. I still haven't had time to get them on the car yet, as I have been overseas about the whole time since I got back home from Nats. But as soon as I get them on I'll send pictures and a writeup about your great products. I look forward to seeing your other products being released. I didn't get any pictures of the cars next to each other with the dual pump swap either. That would of been a good picture too. Oh well at least now we can spread the word about the fuel pump/filter? issues. See you next year.

Damn, and I had 1 camera and 2 camcorders sitting next to us in the black backpack while working on the cars.
