Wow! What a weekend. You guys are the life blood that keeps this hobby alive! The team aspect definetly made for a really fun comp from my point of view. I saw alot of strategy, whispering, and heard alot of trash talk. It was just awesome! The wildcard pick made it even crazier with Farmer going to AL. They thought they had it in the bag after that, but TN managed to pull off the state win.
I just want to say a huge thank you to all who supported me, and who have told me they will be supporting me next year with the 2014 Gettin' Southern Showdown. I love getting to hangout with everyone, have loved it since my parents were still taking me to comps. So glad everyone enjoyed themselves this weekend. Ive gained a tremendous amount of confidense in myself as well as respect for those who take on the task of hosting a major event like this.
To all the vendors who supported the comp thank you for giving the drivers some awesome prizes. A HUGE thank you to RC-trim for the skins on the boundaries and the driver cards. Krawler Koncepts for the drivers stickers and the sportsman trophies. I loved having the extra little things for the drivers to use. Especially the extra payout from OTTSIX, and the tires for each driver "thumbsup"
Thank you to Sven, Grandmasboy, and Harvo for helping me out with the 2.2 pro trophies. They were very neat and very proffessional. The top 3 definetly brought home some good lookin hardware.
Speaking of the top drivers,
HUGE THANK YOU to TEDROCKZ for the cash payout!
Steve is one of the nicest and funniest guys you will meet at a comp. The things he does for this hobby are above and beyond and I really appreciate it. Steve has helped me out personally multiple times, and man I really cant thank you enough for supporting this comp the way you did!
Fishmaxx, I appreciate you helping keep me organised and going throughout this process not only on comp day, but behind the scenes when it came to planning, scoring, sign ups, etc. Also helping me keep moving forward when it came to changing location and what not.
M_Energy and BDN Machine, if it wasnt for you guys, id have been sleeping in the back of my jeep with all of my stuff scattered accross the mountain. Thanks for letting me sleep in the closet
Farmer, Binaryterror, ittybitty, bigjon, and everyone else who was apart of the antics friday night. It made this comp that much more worth it. "thumbsup"
Chicklet, without you this comp would not have happened. You did an awesome job on the score sheets, the Tshirt logos, and the main comp logo that we will continue to use. I know you didnt feel the best, but thank you for making it and driving your ass off. Your last sportsman course run was awesome "thumbsup"
Lastly, thank you to Cliff, Tn Crawlin and AL Crawler (and anyone who held a timer, or a clipboard for the sportys) for stepping up and helping me out with Sportsman today. Will spend a little more time next year on staying organised for sportsman.
Im sure im forgetting some, I had a migrane throughout the sportsman finals and almost fell asleep at the wheel on the way home. Made it safe but feel like i got ran over by a semi. Will post more tomorrow. Sportsman scores going up now. See you guys next year!
