Title: A St. Louis thank you...
Post by: skiandclimb on June 13, 2010, 09:46:39 PM
From all of us local, STL folks, I wanted to say thank you to all those who trekked down to our fair city and raced with us at GIR.  It was great, meeting so many out-of-towners. I had a blast at the meet and greet on Saturday night (Thanks Burt, for the plum brandy!  :biggrin:)  I also wanted to thank MCRA staff for putting on a fantastic weekend!

We will have a large group going up to Road America in July- can't wait to see you all again!
:cheers:
Chris "Ski" Kuhn

Thanks for Pursuit Racing for the party!  It was great to meet Grace and Toni.  Food was great, the beer was cold, and the Bosnian Nijna Juice (Slibovitz) was terrific too (Rick, when does the feeling return to my tastebuds?  Is that a temorary side effect?).

Thanks Chris. I had an enjoyable time at the this Weekend too. Note to self 9lbs of Pork isn't enough for a bunch of hungry racers. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Doubtful... I was a full second off last year, I was hoping to find a 1/2 second this weekend. Oh well, thanks to Ed's misfortunes I was the first loser 4 times!  :kicknuts:

At least you weren't five seconds off!  I never can put it together at that place.
I owe a big thanks to everyone who let me beg, borrow and steal parts to put the bike back together.  And the free beer on Sat was awesome.

This sounds like Farrell crashing at RA and not finishing the race but AMA still had him tear down his motor.
