The Dutch was a great time !

My wife and I went to the Dutch on Friday and we had a great time. Other than freezing our butts off, it was a blast. We met some super nice folks and finally got to put some faces with some names. Thanks to everyone that took the time to talk to us, we really appreciated it.

Special thanks to George Mirza for for bringing me a set of tires. Thanks a bunch for that man.

You must really enjoy "track cleanup". I have never been to an event that had so much "downtime" for sweeping, dragging, spraying, mopping and blowing as this event.

I agree with the great people part but the racing had to be very frustrating.

It's kinda like the 60's.If you weren't there you wouldn't understand.I had the crappiest
1st rd loss ever and still I had a great time.Met some new people.Saw the same fimiliar
faces and helped a friend going a few rounds.
To all the know it alls who weren't there and can only bitch and moan about everything,
race a little more and tap the keys a little less.And kick your cat some more to relieve the frustration.

Ed and I had very similiar weekends,

Ed has been trying to break that 300 mph barrier and I've been trying to break into the 9's

Ed went 366 mph in T/SA and I went 9.94 et in A/S, and we both lost ugly in the 1st rd , , AND , , had a great time.

Dave and Ed, I will second that with both of you, I met some great people this weekend and enjoyed every minute of it. The racing was exiting also and we also lost first round of class and first round on Saturday but that did not matter. Dave congrats on the new record, your car impressed me also. Joe Fasano.

Dave,Briane scared me up to R this weekend.At T weight it probably would have gone 350 at least.:>):>)Fun time anyway.The Shootout was great.And Scott Gove had the runs of the weekend.
I'd like to thank Bob Lang,the Div 1 crew and Lex and the Maple Grove crew for a good weekend in spite of the unavoidable problems.

Agree, drove down with 3 friends and we all had a great time.
Weather was great going up to 71 on Sunday.
Only thing cold was the brewski at the end of race days...
Nice to talk to George M, Don F, Tony to name a few.
Good to see J Bender back in action.
SANTA made it as well, and got a request from a famous track reporter present at the Dutch for lots of engine parts for his 2 cars....
Have no problem waiting for track prep to make it sticky and safe...
Hope I stay healthy enough to return next year.
