Yesterday's event was once again a great success. I would first like to thank everyone who helps with organizing the event, without them it would not be possible. The Ley family, Bill Holmes, Bobby Joslin, Ron Smolskis, Allison Ryan, Ray & Deb Kaeser, and my lovely wife, Wendy did a fantastic job of running the show and let me run my mouth all day.
Special thanks to all of the internet sites and message boards who allow me to shamelessly promote the event including DRR, Class Racer, IDragrace, GoDragracing, Bracket News, Draglist,BBRA Online, and many others!
We had a solid turnout and everyone came to race! Most of the eliminators paid the advertised payout and were filled with double entries. Here are the particulars:

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the event. Thank you to the sponsors for making the show special for everyone in attendance. Thanks to everyone who drove, flew, and walked long distances to make the scene. Special thanks to the entrants for all of the multiple entries. We should be looking at a shorter program and new/larger location for next year's event!

Oh, and thanks to the folks @ Riverdeck Catering for mediocre service at best.
