MrsPapi and I had a great time for the last meet of 2009 at EM. It has been a wonderful first year for us, with many adventures along the way, including our first official "Bonneville Story".
The last meet for us at EM was bittersweet. Happily, we made it through our first year unscathed and acquiring all we set out to do on time like clockwork.
Sadly, we are sorry to see it end so quick. El Mirage was my first meet of the year, and the last of 2009. We so look forward to May 2010!
The neat thing about the last meet was spending time with great friends and the LSR Family. Thanks to Willie and Sheri, the Stew was hot and the fire was warm for Saturday night. We also enjoyed talking with the fellow racers, new and old alike. It has been a lot of fun to hang out with the same group of folks each meet.
We have met some wonderful folks these past 6 months, and
all have been very helpful getting us indoctrinated into the world of LSR.
I would like to thank the members of SDRC, John Noonan, Bob Moreland, Eric and Michelle for teaching us the ropes. Also would like to thank the entire SCTA/BNI Org and all the great folks who took a few minutes with me each event to coach me up. Special thanks to Jo Ann, Judy, Mr. Creel, Kieth and Dan for answering all my silly questions. Also Mr. Jensen for being patient and kind at the line to get me going each time as a Rookie. Tom for getting me through my first inspection and Van and Cathy for helping me out to understand everything else. You guys are all awesome and first rate.
A few others I would like to thank: Glen, Michelle Brady, Leslie Porterfield, Jack Costella, Kip and Donna up in Wendover, LandsEndLynda, Slim and Nancy, my buddies at SouthBayRiders.com, and all the fellow racers who pitched in and helped out with advice, extra hands and whathaveyou's along this great journey.
Here are a couple parting pix of EM Nov. 2009. See you all next year, and Go
Fast !
