SPECIAL THANKS GOES TO THE STAFF
Everyone always talks about the staff. Many of the Staff had MULTIPLE Jobs. Here is what the did, and the deserve lots of Thanks!
Aaugman (Mike Kamber) Took on the role of 2nd in command, and was a major part of the ECC brain. Mike was there almost everyday listening to and giving ideas to make ECC run smooth. He also did All the printing of the course markers, give away stickers, and the AWESOME banner we did not get to hang due to time and the WIND.
Destroyer (Cris Higberg) Provided alot of the TRANSPORTATION of ECC gear to the comp, as well as the Crawler Hauler at the event. I am sure it save me a couple 1,000 steps. I am sure it save some others as well. He set up the raffle tent, ran most of the raffle, brought wood for the smoker, and help with MOST of the tear down. Last but not least Judged on Sunday.
Colby (Colby Johnson) He and his gang ran The Rox Box money climb, and brought in over $100 in attempts. Good Job!
Kinson (Kinson Cook) Organized everything "Spread Sheet" the data he managed made sure we got enough t-shirts ordered, labels printed, and drivers packets prepared. He entered ALL the data...some of twice due a GOOGLE DOC's hiccup (still a mystery) I estimate he had over a 1,000 entries over a 5 hour spread with constant interruptions. I am aware of only 2 or 3 mistakes. 1 was a tiebreaker sorting error the other was due the fact we wanted finals to start on time.
Speedracer19 (Donnie Jackson) Printed +700 Score-Sheets, and delivered them on time for the event. He also Judged his 3rd ECC in a row. He is one of my most consistent GO TO GUYS. It doesn't matter if its a Major event like ECC or just 12 guys comping locally he has been there everytime for the last 3 years;-)
Mini (Mini Amil) Does all my graphics work for the last 2 years, and usually with in HOURS of my request. He created the current ECC logo, T-shirt design, and final score-sheet layout.
Wheelin King (Ben Cheney) Proved ground transportation to ECC guests, and helped Destroyer wit the raffle at crunch time.
JWEIMER (Jeremy Weimer) Is always there to do what ever when ever. He carries the big rocks when we want build NEW lines at comps. I didn't ask him to do much this year, but he was CLUTCH this year when I needed to get gear back to Atlanta. I am penciling him in for a staff position in 2010:shock:
Scattman (Matthew Tiller) Thank You for bringing the Smoker and motor home at your own personal expense. You kept everyone feed and provided home base to the event.
THANK YOU!
KennyJ (Kenny Johnson) Thank You for being Matt's right hand man. Every time I looked up I saw you running extension cords, picking up trash, pulling meat off the grill, or cleaning something. I don't think people realize how much you did.
Harley (Josh Theide Thank you for your 2 cent before the comp, doing the Drivers Meeting, helping with Final raffle and awards.
Harley also took over the scoring duties on Sunday for Super and 1.9"thumbsup"
EvilTwin v2 (Carey Baird) Evil Jerk! Almost says it a all. Carey donated +30 pounds of chicken to feed the judges as well as who knows what in other meat products. After all that he won 1.9 on Sunday. Just proves good things happen to good people.
Please Thank these guys, buy them a beer, or give the a discount when you can the deserve it "thumbsup"
