Steve, As i've already said to you, well done, you managed to pull the event off, and it turned out great.. Even with the light sprinkle of rain on Saturday, the amount of people that made the effort to come up was great, and hearing how many were there on Sunday is phenomenal, good effort from everyone.. especially the inter-staters, just glad you all pissed off back to your own states after the event, we don't want to over fill Vic..... I know this took a lot out of you (and Paul.. we mustn't forget Paul, he was your right hand man) and i'm glad you enjoyed yourself, and didn't break down when I asked you about next year...... Just remember you don't have to try do everything by yourself, people are here to help as you found out on the event... CT and all it's users will be here to support you whenever and where ever you decide to hold it, and i'll definitely make the trip to wherever it is.... Good to meet everyone, and thanks for the heads up whenever Blink was trying to hunt me down giving me time to hide... On behalf of everyone that turned up.. Thanks for the huge effort and great event! Steve... the real one

Steve & Paul, Thanks for the event. Was awesome. Good to get on the drink with you both everynight. The crew and I had a good trip down & back even though it took 18 hrs each way, and to go to the Final as well was a plus. Was not expecting that. As for 2011, dont care were it is, will drive anywere to be part of it again. Thanks, Ben Ignite Racing..

Paul, I spoke to you briefly on Sunday after the day was done but just wanted to say again you did a great job at organising everyone from behind the scenes. Thank's for your efforts putting together the event.

[QUOTE=XCHASE;2466107]We all said you took one for the team Saturday night when you lost the stray. Yet it returned at 4am.[QUOTE] you mean SUNDAY night right? otherwise u're talking about me chewing ur ears off in ur room when all you's wanted to do was get in some sleep. haha, you can sleep when u're dead. assuming that u're on about the sunday night straggler, i missed the 4am encounter, but there was about 4 more encounters after that in the morning maybe around 8am onwards till about 9.30am when we checked out, man, nearly ruined the whole weekend for us. bloody funny ****. WSID and Willowbank would have to be the best drag strips in Australia.

The look on my face when I found out I missed out on meeting you by about a minute, would have made anyone depressed. Then Jack was telling me how I met you, it was like I had just missed meeting every celebrity known to man. Up there with the worst moments of my life.

If ppl choose too travel interstate, that's there choice. I give them a thumbs up. Majority of Melb people is more our way anyway, so why was sh!t creek choosen. Either way doesn't change the fact Heathcote is a pos. Hey you have WSID, come check out Heathcote. Worst first impression ever.

I appologise on XCHASE's behalf for the event being an inconveniance to yourself. Heathgote was chosen because its not ANDRA spec, so people can run 9's without a cage/chute lol. That, and why would we trust BJ... He'd cancel the event last minute. You were initially whinging about travel distance, but your travel distance is nothing compared to some of the other memebers on here,

I'm not winging I was just giving my personal opinion. I'm thankful for the event it was a good day. Just saying it needed a better location next time and you all had a PMS.

I'd also hate to know how much BJ would want to hire out the track. All good things have to start from the bottom - and heathcote was a great base to start.
