Default My LTX Shootout 2011!

Thanks to Tony and Kyle for another great event!

In no particular order here are some of my highlights.


Street Stock

We had a great field of cars. These guys were very serious about running an honest program. Everyone showed up with legal cars and the racing was very good. Thanks to Mike W. for taking the time out to weigh every round winner. Every run was reviewed and not one racer played any games. Congratulations to Tony on your win. Thanks to all the other racers for making him earn it. I hope that we can put this together again next year!


Mod N/A

Still the best class at the shootout. Congratulations to Mike V. on your win. You really worked hard on that thing and deserved the outcome. My best moment was the final round. I hope that you get that nine soon. My second best moment was the Impala guy burn down. It's not a good race without a little drama. The neat part is that he is a very cool guy too! I love those big cars. Please bring them back next year. Mike, I am coming to get you next year!


LTX Community

Thanks for all the free beer! This is still by far the best event on my calendar. We had a great time. The service at BWW was a little slow, because we only had one server, but the server was great. We just orderred enough beer to keep us content! Being outside didn't bother us. After all, we spent the rest of the evenning outside! The parking lot party is always a good time. Chris is the funniest. I have to say that I love this community and hope that we have this event for many years to come.


Thanks everyone for making this an awsome event. See you all again next year! Daren & Veronica
