[Mark Poole ModVP]

Everyone has been kinda quiet about this one but, anyone who was not there missed out on some great weather, good food, fun and of course some great racing. Thanks to the CMB members who worked hard before and during the race to make it all happen.

Randy and Wayne, thanks for working the CD stand, the bar b que was good and a lot of raffle tickets were sold. I think almost everybody bought the super stretch for $20 which was a great show of support!

And myself, after trying for years to win Mod-VP at this race it was finally my turn and I went for a nice cool swim to celebrate! Mic, you still have some speed on me but I am going to fix that. And now we are going to have 2 more Mod-VP drivers in the mix. Can't wait for STORM Round 3.

Obviously the race got overshaddowed by certain current events which will not be discussed here. Back to Charleston!!!!!!!!!!! Great race, 6 heats, lunch breaks, laid back Low Country hospitality and by no means any less competition with a smaller field. This really is more than a tunnel event, has all the trimmings of a family reunion. If you could not go you missed out. If you are a true tunnel racer and opted out shame on you.

Congratulation to all who ran and Mark, very deserved win in ModVP. I could hold you off on the water but not on the score board. My victories only were heard in the truck on the way home. You have the tittle of "World Champion". Storm 3&4 yet to come and the "Bracelet" is still up for grabs.

[mprfrk440]

Last place gas tunnel, at least I'm consistant B)

Joe's woodstuff was rockin, great job. All the others where playin ketchup I think if Mitch had not flubbed up his radio box joyriding, he would have had something for Joe, but was not meant to be.

Had a blast as usual, for some reason the apple pie drinkers dwindled to only a few sippers and Gabe and Don drank a few with me and Dave.

I was again murphys law's poster child for the weekend in gas tunnel and pitting for my son Carter, neither of us finished a heat :blink: it happens,

A very special thanks to Deryl's Hobby Shop, without him Carter wouldnot have been able to run, (or me)servos, battery, charger, starter, and glow igniter, yep, forgot all that stuff sittin on the table at home. Deryl is the man. and thanks Wayne for the iv bag and Joe for the pull starter. Got a easy start from Mitch along with some special lube , gottcha.

Can't wait till next year, one of my favorite events of the year. Great job to all, even sidewinder, no boats where harmed other than hers and the bank B)
