Well Gang . . . we
did not make it to the top 15 finalists - THANKS for all
your support and efforts - you've been amazing and we're blessed to have you all involved.
This is kind of like every dang contest you've ever been in - somebody has to win and somebody has to lose (unless it is a 'Politically Correct' event - where everybody gets a fricking trophy). So be it . . .
Yes, we were obviously way ahead of some of the 15 winners in the number of times our video was viewed and I'm sure we were way ahead of some in votes, but this contest was clear -> 1/3 Votes, 1/3 Best Depiction of a Champion and 1/3 Inspirational Quality. In the end the first third is very concrete and the last two thirds are intangible and involve the opinion of the judges. Their opinion is just that - theirs . . . and it is also their contest, not ours.
So with all due respect to Champion, we're thankful for the opportunity to represent the true hotrod spirit of the HAMB and the entire LSR community as a whole. We gave the contest hell and we had a TON of support from this LSR community - you guys are awesome! We also made a lot of new friends - makes it all worth it in our minds.
Onward and Faster . . .The FlatCad crew, sponsors and supporters are not slowing down - we plan to be right back out there this summer . . . as we're just getting started.
I'll leave you with this --> It is not a car, an engine or a cool part that makes all of this special -- it is all the
people on our extended team . . . that is where the
Champions truly come from. No trophy or prize can touch that - period.
Take care and keep swinging the bat with us! And Hard!
See Yah on the Salt . . .
