    I'd like to thank everyone who came to the event (race or watch) and those who have supported this event. It was definitely a blast. The track seemed pretty slick, both from my personal experience and from the comments made. I promise to take this an item to discuss with the track for 06.

    Turnout was amazing. I think it could have been even better had the weather looked better. But not a drop of rain fell and we ran the whole day. 700 people and 150 cars made 1100! passes. This is right inline with the 750/140 we had for the Spring event.

    I'm looking forward to hearing some feedback from everyone on improvements. For 06 we'll have the opportunity to shuffle some classes, look at moving to Saturdays, and a host of other improvements! This event is for all of you, everyone who comes, so feel free to make suggestions!

    Congrats to all of the winners and I hope everyone had a great time! I had a little more time this time around to walk around and talk to people, and felt good about what I heard. I hope everyone had as much fun as we did.

    We didn't run our car because we had so many customer cars there running... which placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th in the AWD class.... humm... guess it was an easy day for us.

    you should learn that before you can claim "WE HAVE THE FASTEST EVO IN GA" maybe you should beat the current fastest time... i don't think i saw anyone in 11's in the AWD class but an eclipse, which you didn't build

    I am going to change my transmission fluid and see if that helps with my 1st to 2nd shift...

    Hopefully it will. I may be at commerce before it closes for the year...if anyone knows when that is.
