Mack... I had to drive ALL the way home with him .... but he had a bad Headache & slept most of the way... :) "Thankfully"

We all had a great time.. But our table feels a little put out, at the latest "Rumor"

We hear that you will not permit that same group to sit together next year... I'm pleading INNOCENT!! it was ROSE that was disruptive.. I was trying to calm them all down :) After all this was a serious awards dinner.. :D

Either way... everyone had a ball... :cheers: and we're all looking forward to March... even if you do "Ban" the Panuzzo Racing Team

Also on another note.. if all goes well Panuzzo Racing will also be giving [B]$50</> to go with the first round Best Reaction Winning Time .. I must give thanks to Ralph, Chris, and 2 or 3 others who will also be contributing, (names forthcoming) I will make a post when all the details finalized.. and also a year end prize if we have enough $$ do do it..

Also I want to thank Bob for donating the T shirts.. all the girls love em .. :) I doubt I'll be wearing that one :( I think our table won 4... :D all the girls....

Dave - I PROMISE that we will have a dinner/banquet at the end of the 2002. I would have done it at the end of last season but I was a little "tied up" with ElectroConvulsive Therapy treatments so that I could recover from the season!

John - how do you guys find the time to put on a full season of racing AND a banquet?! :eek: :cheers: :thumbs: :flag

"BIGGER" ? Ok, yeah - some of us did more 'quality control' on the mousse :eek: :( :banghead: ....... guess the " :hurray: :hurray: " also means 'aerobics-in-the-stage-lanes'?? :skep: :D :lol: :rofl: {sprung weight, sprung weight, sprung weight..... :lurk: }

Thanks everybody, and a special thanks to the organizers.

It was a little embarrassing, but i had a great time. I told John that if the cape was SFI approved, i'd wear it during Elims....LOL. Unfortunitely i didn't get to make my speech. Ya know, the one where i thank all my spnosors and stuff. If there's one thing i've learned watching drag racing is that the first thing you do when handed a microphone is thank your sponsors. Oh yeah, i dont have any sponsors!!! Well, i coulda just defered to the challenge sponsors and thanked them. And OF COURSE i couldn't forget to thank the old man, the team leader and inspiration to us all....Ol' JP himself for loaning me his car (can you image) when mine broke. No way i could have won anything without those points i picked with John's car. And then i would have had to thank my wife for all her undying support of my racing habit...yeah right. Maybe it's good thing i didn't get to speak after all :yesnod:

Sorry, it took me so long to respond to this thread, but i thought it was another one of those "dont forget to sign up" threads. Did someone change the title or something?
