    Ford vs GM Wrap Up

    First off, id like to thank EVERYONE for coming and hanging out at the event! We had a GREAT showing with a TON of nice cars!
    Big thanks to Xtreme Motorsports and Townsends performance for sponsoring the event, Big Nate for helping out in the tower, and a HUGE thanks to EVERYONE for assisting in the pits, lanes and organization! I hope you all got some good races out of the event!

    Now for some of the bad...Id like to apologize for the event starting a bit rough... While I had planned for 20-30% to not show, I didnt have it set up for 20-30% more TO come and destroyed my setup... If/when I do this again in about 6 months, I will have it set up better WITHOUT tire classes, and instead just Ford vs GM with times matched regardless of tire or vehicle so reclassing vehicles, adding vehicles and subtracting vehicles will be much easier! Unfortunately sometimes you have to fail at first to succeed in the long run, so I promise next time will be better! With all that being said, im glad we got things rolling and made at least a few runs through the lanes and had some fun! If we can get enough together for the run, I will also do my best to get the track for Ford vs GM ONLY since we had to share the last time.

    For those wondering who won, I will be going through the spreadsheet this evening and all the races to see who won, as well as who will be receiving prizes for the wins or classes, and I will PM those individually to either have the prizes mailed, or meet up at your convenience if you are near me.

    Again big thanks to everyone, and if you have any suggestions for next time, things you liked or disliked etc, please PM me and let me know!

    Mike

    Ive already got the bugs worked out for the next one... just trying to talk speedworld into letting me have the entire track without having to prepay

    If they give in, im planning an entire day event with lunch and the first half of the day with qualifying runs, then while everyone eats lunch, we match up the pairs on a white board, then while you make that run we match up the 2nd set of runs etc until we run out of time!

    I came too "prepared" for this one and unfortunately had to redo everything on the spot for people who didnt show, or new guys who didnt sign up etc. with qualifying done on the spot, I dont have to set anything up as it will all be done on the spot!
