I had to take a moment to just remind each of us how lucky we are for all of the hard work that is put in so we can chase a dream. I have always greatly appreciated the hours of service put in by all of the volunteers at an event in Maxton. Be it 100 degrees are pouring rain, they are right there doing whatever is needed of them. And for nothing more than the pleasure of doing it for each of us. I had a chance in Maine to watch the volunteers come together and make an event, not just happen, but be an overwhelming success. I myself ended up making 17 runs at Loring, and I could have made more. Saturday started slow, but by Sunday we were moving along quickly. The participation from ECTA folks was amazing. I had a chance to see just how much goes into putting on the show. Joe and Donna were at the front of getting so much done. Bob Warner was a blur most of the time. I wish I could call each and everyone by name to thank you. I'm putting this on the ECTA forum so everyone can see just how blessed we are. We at TLN/Ace had a very productive weekend, and the hard work by everyone, including getting the results posted so quickly has gotten intrest in our success from Vortex. This isn't to promote TLN/Ace, but to show how much we receive from the hard work of all the ECTA volunteers. From Tracy and myself, all of us at TLN and I'm sure so many more who enjoy chasing their dream down the track, Thanks to each of you for all you do. See you in September. Oh yeah, nice pass Donna.

Just to get all mushy on every one . The work the volunteers put into making it happen is one of my motivating factors to go faster . They want me to go faster and I feel like I don't want to let them down .
