:sun: Yes, it was. Still recovering after a great race weekend. Thanks to everyone, especially those that volunteered from Steamboat to pull this race together. We could not have done it without you.
Byron & Cynthia- You are definitely a class act! Coordinating volunteers, all the time put in to set up and tear down the track, working with the city and making sure the racers had everything they needed from medical to hospitality. That is quite an undertaking.
Duff Dyer- Came up on his on time. Provided us with the best sound system we have had yet. He couldn’t even race due to recent foot surgery ( can you imagine him racing with you and not having a good braking foot?) and I think he even paid for his own lunch. Without his expertise with the sound system the weekend would not have run as smooth as it did. Nine hundred watts of pit space info and FM broadcast.
Drew- Without Duff he would have lost his voice sooner. He kept us all up-to-date and on time. Who knew Red Bull’s number 83 came from the size of a Red Bull can? Duff hooked him up with and A & B PA system so you didn’t have to listen about seat struts, but now fans know about karts
Bobby – As always, you did a teriffic job.
Dennis, Brian & Todd – Tech has been brought to a whole new level. “You want to do what to my tires?!!”. Keep the surprises coming.
Curt Kistler – Thanks for organizing the 1st Annual Steamboat Springs Golf Tournament. Wonder where that traveling trophy will go next year?
Kurt Freiburg – Was there to document another addition of the SSGP for the Colorado Karter and SKUSA.
Jim K – The use of The Mother Ship for timing and scoring and the barriers that made the course safe.
Angie – We all know Angie works too hard. But did you know, she also recruited her family to help – anything from pit space parking to helping her kids get ready to race. She has 2 kids racing 3 classes and never gets to watch any of them.
Flaggers – What can I say – never recognized, but can’t do without them and many of them were volunteers this weekend. They did a great job.
John Steele – Asked “What can I do to help?” Put him to work right away at Grid and he even came back on the 2nd day. Thanks, John.
They say “It takes a village to raise a child.”
Did you ever think what it takes to take care of 100 racers?
Now, not only is my body sore, but my fingers are too. Thanks to everyone.
