25th Anniversary Thanks!
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]I wanted to start this last night but I returned home with the sinus/cold crud that has been going around. It basically knocked me out for the last 24 hours. So I guess I need to start with a "thanks" to the higher powers that held the bug off until Monday!
There are two things that always happen on a race weekend. First, there is never as much time on the weekend as you need to do thing as well as you would hope, and second, you always remember people you miss and would have liked to have recognized personally at the the event.
I need to personally thank two people that I SHOULD have recognized sooner.
John Annis was personally responsible for making sure that both the event posters and the acrylic SRF trophies were made. Thank you John!
Chris Funk is responsible for the beautifully framed pieces that were provided to the podium finishers. Thank you Chris!
Thanks are due do to the people responsible for the Block Party... Stacey Harris and Stacey Grammer. And clearly we all need to thank Jeff Futrelle and Clay Sylvester for the pig and shrimp!
I also want to thank each and every driver, team member and CSR for making our jobs so easy. You guys are simply the best in the business!
Oh. I also want to personally thank the two drivers from Alabama (my home state) for showing their state colors during the weekend! Nice work guys!
And Mr. Cruz... you deserve a very personal thanks for taking the time to come find me and tell us what a great time you had before you left. I realize your weekend was expensive, and knowing that you came all the way to the tower before leaving really meant a great deal to me and the USERA staff.
We had a great time and it was truly an honor to be part of your event.
