Thanks for a great event Pete. Nice meeting/seeing everyone today.

Jen, sorry I missed you on the way out. I went for a drive around the park to look for a pshot spot and when I came back you were gone.

Aren't you thinking yourself as a soon-to-be trophy wife?

Had a great time today nice meeting everyone! Pete you did a great job as usual setting up the event. Nice pictures, I must say if you look at the trophy cars in the second picture, it looks like a bunch of R/C cars lined up because of how small they are.

Great meet pete. Also a big thanks to SLK Roy for the CT convoy and getting Jared and I home. Also, due to my lack of sleep..... I'm currently WIRED right now......

Energy Drinks consumed today.....
1 Red Bull
3 5 hour energies
1 med ice coffee
1 shot of expresso
1 Coke
1 Pepsi
.......Not completely sure if that was it......... Either way, it was ALL worth it.
Besides the minor pain in my left leg.....

Also a big thanks to Roy for giving me a call to make sure I was home safe, thanks. I owe you one.
