only bad thing about today was the slow ass golf cart that Kennedale had. Man that thing took forever just to get down the track. That has to be the slowest golf cart I have ever seen.

Oh yea! Thanks Brooks and crew! Thanks for your time and effort to get this going!
It was a great day. By far the best cruise to date. I would like to have seen some more kodfw, but oh well. Thanks Brooks.

same here, but oh well maybe next time
Its crazy how big the cruises are, and how fast the cars a getting. I remember when there was maybe 20 cars showing up back in the day.

You guys are quite welcome!
I got behind on the planning on this one and I wasn't very well prepared for the classes. I have better plans for the next cruise in the spring - it will be a blast.
I met a whole lot of new people and got to see a lot of the same faces - I had a great time.
I also want to apologize to the few people that I backed off the track because of leaks or whatever the case may have been.. I am sure it may have been a minor problem but I'd rather not take a chance on a wreck or oil down. (one that comes to mind is the green and silver GT that Garth was driving - they driver - not Garth - looked pissed when I backed him off of the track.. sorry dude)
All in all it was a HUGE turnout with little or no problems - We can't forget a huge THANKS to TXR for having us out...
I also have a LOT of video - I just need to get it edited..
Oh... and that's with a "Z"

Props for the work Brooks did to make it all happen. I came out to just watch today and the track was running very tightly with little downtime (except for that slow ass golf cart LOL....).
Saw ya walking around Brooks but never got a chance to run into you to say hello.

The anti-sway bar was setup with Fred in it.. so after me then another 150lb person raced the car and both pulled to the left we figured that had to be what was causing the issues. We'll fix that. :cool:

We were pretty close by the track at that time. I thought you shucked a piston through your oil pan at first. Then they let cars run right after that.
Duh!
