The Mother of All Qualifiers May 6-7-8

Beautiful morning, the track is PRIMO right now with the final prep finishing up. Gonna be a killer day of racing
 
This was a well run event. My dad and I had a great time. The track time and atmosphere was awesome! This is how a race showed be run. Thanks to Jeremy and all his staff for putting on a cool Sunday/Funday.
 
What a rollercoaster ride of a weekend. From gale force winds Friday to the severe threat of thunderstorms Saturday, and then the perfect Sunday. I will not forget our 3rd Qualifier. So many things come to mind. Granted the turnout was lighter than I had expected, I really thought 500-600 given the PV AQ, the weather, and Mothers Day, so at 500 it was on the lower side of my guess. However we received so many kudos on the track from so many people, it was a very rewarding weekend from that perspective. I couldn't be happier with the race operation on Sunday, we hit our marks, we were done in record time at 2:21pm. There were very few medical situations, only 2-3, no flights, which for as hard as people were pushing during the races it was quite amazing to only have 2-3. I'm going to attempt this against my better judgment, but Briarcliff is not 1 guy, its an army of volunteers, enthusiasts, and professional. And I have to extend a special thanks to Matt Winland (nitrofish) who volunteered all week leading up to Friday practice, never complained, he is an all-star.

that's just georgie being georgie.....we are in no way even in the same ball park as Red Bud, not even in the parking garage three blocks away. But we are getting touch screens before King of the Cliff, so that should put us in the same zip code at least.

I would prefer to race BC over red bud. I don't like sand.....so to each their own. BC's track is better than Red Bud for some of us. Now, get your pits as nice as Red Bud and you win.
