Thanks to all that were involved for putting on a super fun event.  Now if I can just get that smell of burnt rubber outta my nostrils- or maybe it's actually the fragrance wafting over from the meat rendering plant upwind from us

Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard to make this event so enjoyable.

I think this is the best auto-x track I have ever been on.  It was wide enough that I could actually think about a line, and apexes had some meaning.  It was fast enough that I could learn to feel the breaking point at speed.   Most auto-x tracks are so tight that I feel like I'm just abusing my tires.

That food was great, and there was plenty of time in the shade to talk to people. 

I'm already looking forward to next year!

What a fantastic day this turned out to be, thanks to everyone who made it out for this event!  It was a great mixture of old and new members, welcome to Guy Chandler and Duane & Carrie Davila!  We even had a few potential members stop by to check things out.

Steph & I are so very grateful to all of you who helped make the day so successful!  First off, thank you to Matthew Gross, Lance Kouchi and Randy Tribolet for meeting me at zero dark thirty Friday morning to design the layout for the club's largest Auto-X track to date.

Thank you as well to those of you who showed up early on Saturday morning to help us set up.  It was wonderful having Rob & Cathy Bucholtz run our registration table, and Gary & Melissa Belvedere, our Vice Presidents, act as our starter & timekeeper.  Your combined efforts allowed the whole process to run smooth.

Although the afternoon temperature was downright hot, we were blessed with a cool breeze in the morning.  I hope everyone had a good time attacking the course.  Congratulations to our Auto-X Winners.  Our 1st Place winner was Bruce Li with a time of 1.02.856.  2nd Place went to our Track Director Ben Kawata with a time of 1.03.152 and Justin Fujita came in 3rd with a time of 1.03.313.  Congratulations as well to Derek Short for winning this year's Cone Crusher Award!  "If you're not crushin' cones, you're driving way too slow!"

It looked like those of you who took advantage of the drifting sessions were having a blast burning rubber!  Thank you to Naoki and his entire team from Drifting 101, it was a pleasure working with them!  Congratulations to Randy Tribolet who won Best Drifter, and Guy Chandler as Most Improved Drifter.

Last, but not least, big thanks to all of you who stayed and helped us pick up!  Justin, Akemi & Mike Fujita picked up all the track cones with their beautiful truck and trailer setup while Eddie & Dylan Reinsma, Jay Morrissete, and Gary, Melissa & Jake Belvedere helped break camp and load up the truck.  Thanks to Eddie as well for his mechanical help to those who needed a professional technician.

Thanks again to everyone who attended!  We look forward to planning more events like this in 2015!

Cheers! Glenn & Stephanie
