Bristol pro/champ events

Post by jcox07 »

We have a double national event coming up starting on July 1st and you still have time to get in on the most fun solo event you can do in the pro solo event. Get signed up and come out and have a blast! JY

If you haven't ever done one, I highly recommend it. They will also have a class to get you familiar with the tree and format. They are my favorite of all the national events.

And you'll want the class if for no other reason to get used to the tree they use. Might not be the same as a tree locally for the drag strip.

Never took mine out of the truck from Charlotte. I figured it worked there we'll just keep that MOJO going.

Great job and thank you to everyone.

Makes me so proud to see the Massachusetts people say it is a must attend event for them, have people travel from Texas and Wisconsin because of the positive reviews in past years, and so forth. It truly is a destination event on the national schedule, which I'm sure none of us envisioned 10 years ago. A lot of that is because JY aims so high and does so much work while ALWAYS being positive and friendly. It really sets the tone for every facet of our events.

The courses were fantastic, too.

Yes, thank you everyone that worked so hard this event. I'm going to try to jump back in and help a little more next year with it.

Great times.

The heat was rough though. Thought I was going to lose it on Saturday afternoon. Was showered and in bed by 8.....Didn't walk course til Sunday.

+ infinity on that.

So many people talk about how much they love the event and it's a cant' miss date on their schedule and others talk about how they regret they can't make it BECAUSE they hear how great it is.

Thank you guys.
Had a blast and even with my crappy finish, I still had fun and loved the courses. This was my co-driver's 1st time there and he's a believer and wants to come back for a local.

Back to work and still trying to remember things of importance, but I will post up the things I forgot. First off a big thank you to all involved in helping put on this event. Thanks to Paul McFall for working the pro and not even running in it and that was very helpful and very good of Paul, and thanks to Mark Pilson for helping with tech as I am finding out that the pool of workers doesn't draw tech workers when I thought they did. Another big thanks to Jim Thomas and Steve Vrooman for all their help and Berry Langley for taking over waiver chief and John Brown for what was probably the best champ tour courses we have had at the double national event since we have been doing them. I know I forgot someone for sure but THANKS to all that helped. JY

Edit: Big congrats to ETR's own Chris Harp and Randy Adkins who took home wins at the champ tour and represented ETR very well!

As others have said, thanks to all that had a hand in getting this done. I know Jeff was scrambling everywhere. Great courses as well!

Personally, I'm ready to get back to events we aren't hosting. [emoji38]

We had a woman from Washington state tow cross country by herself to run this event. That says a lot. I am sure some of you all know who she is but that is remarkable
