First of all, I want to thank all who attended this event as well as those who made the effort to try and be here. ***We had a blast!***.
The low attendance brought forth camaraderie seldom seen by people. Those who had multiple classes gave those with few classes to run boats so they could get more out of the race. And although Mark Poole could not be here we do appreciate his commitment to the series and very much respect his past attendance and understand his reason for not being here this weekend.
I also want to thank Jeff Whiddon, who although could not race, at least showed up to to show his support. Ron Drake, Focus on your new job my brother. Boats can come later.
There are at least 75 tunnel boats in a 100 mile radius. We had eight people show.
To those supposed tunnel gurus that decided for whatever reason not to attend.
You accomplished something as well...
You have killed the STORM series.
But you have also lost a lot of respect. And possibly a few friends.
This will be the last tunnel race to be held by STRA. As of today, It is officially disbanded.
How ironic, This event was created by those who love tunnels. It was killed by the likes of those who's claim to fame is tunnels.
It's amazing how we can pimp an annual shootout race around fuel guzzling twin nitro's that will draw 8-10 boats total, but not give a hoot about a class that can draw 8-10 times as many boats and put this area on the map. We tried to put on a race around a class that has more boats in the area than almost all others put together. I find it absurd that we received zero support from those made famous by them.
Mic wanted to take the high road and did not want to post this notice, just let the series die silently. But not feeling so gracious right now, I thought I would say it for him.
Many people claimed there should be specialty tunnel races in Florida because there are so many tunnels and quite a few 'World Class' racers here. After MUCH determination and personal sacrifice, Mic, Randy, and I made it happen. I guess when only a few put their hearts into something, only a few will recognize it.
Hell, Most would agree that Andy G. is no tunnel head. But he gave his all to this series as if he was.
I want to thank the following people for their outstanding effort to make this series happen for as long as it did.
Ernie Amador.
Jeff Connelly.
Ron Drake.
Andy Greene.
Mic Halbrehder.
Shawn Junker
Mark Poole.
Randy Premo.
Jeff Whiddon.
The saying "The cream always rises to the top" is very true in this instance. The above mentioned have gone above and beyond to try and make this happen. Hats off to you.
As far as everyone else...
YCKMA <_<
Peace Out.
