Wow. What an event, I am still working on the writeup as I have been slammed with work since coming back. I do want to get out some thanks to everyone who made this happen.

Carl (Turbo_Anarchy) and Stephanie, thanks for inviting us all to your beautiful cabin and for providing a most excellent spread.

<a href="http://www.034motorsport.com/">034 Motorsport</a> and Javad, thanks for your kind donations. We were truly shocked by your generosity. The UPS driver yelled at me for making her deliver to such a remote location, but it was well worth the tongue lashing.

...on duping my event there chiefy - a real A+ for originality there! Pretty cool of you to contact me on it before hand too.

Posto says he had some inquires - well hey at least you tried right? Kudos at least in providing an outlet for you wrong coasters to gtg, tho. Def. been a long time coming. Sounds like all had fun.

Ironic, mirroring a format and then to hear the silly digs shot at ours tho gots to say. Que sera sera. The misinformation being tossed about is def. comedic relief to us orgainizers, thanks for the laughs!

Keep up the good work Gabe, sure the folks out there appreciate it. Def. looking forward to some original ideas. The first year in my yard only saw ~ 45 cars and 75 people so it can take awhile to sprout root...

I thought it was bad idea. I can't tell if you are mad? We were just trying to get some Audi guys together for beer, brauts and conversation.

Posto actually contacted me. Left me a message on my voicemail and was very excited to help out. So????????

Maybe you had better email me.
