I seem to have "misplaced" the run sheets for this class but I can tell you it was John Z vs. Rod H in the final with Rod coming out the winner. Congratulations Rod! I will look again for the sheets and if I find them, I will post all the information.

"Good move for all concerned." Seconded. Life is too short to worry about "My dog's better then your dog". Duane PS. Get um David.:grin:
Thanks Jim your comment mean's a lot. :gp: Maybe one of these years I can make it back down to BG and buy you a beer...
I don't know about everyone else but to me I considered this a vacation I had no stress and had nothing but fun. This is my fifth event that I've attended and I'll keep on coming back for more. Congrats to all the winners.
Congratulations to all the winners and runner ups! Without the support of our racers and donors, we wouldn't be able to have all this fun every year. I've been to every meet from the beginning and I'm proud to be a part of the club. More proud of our racers who come back year after year and have a good time. It's not just about the competition and the prize money, it's about seeing friends and making new ones. Each and every year I leave this event with more friends than I came in with! Makes all the work worth while! Again, Congrats to everyone!
I for one had a great time at the BPG event, with todays economy we have to decide where to spend out Buick dollars wisely and you guys are the reason I spend them at BPG each and every year. It was great to see old friends and have a few drinks. Kudos to you Sean and BPG as you have always listened to your customers and the yearly themed events are just icing on the cake. The preview of the GN movie Black Air was awesome and to think Andrew could have previewed his movie anywhere but to chose BPG over other events certainly says alot. Thanks again to you and Anthony for your relentless promotion of the event, you are the epitome of what a PR director should be. I am excited for next year and already have my room reserved.
Thanks Rich for your comments. We do work hard but anyone who does these events knows, the hours, time, sweat, blood and aggravation is worth it to hear compliments like the ones you stated! See you next year buddy, great seeing you again, and get that car back at the track! Or bring the Limited!:TU:
