Thanks to all the TSM guys, Jason C, Dick K, Top Gun (they don't call you that for nothin dude, WOW!) Walt, Bob S, Dave E, Scott S and Paul D for makin me feel at home. The TSM class is where I'm stayin. Can't wait for next year.....

Awesome to finally meet the Florida boys, Louie L, Cal and family, Roy G and Laz, and Razor. I also got to listen to Laurence Conley's advice every morning as we were always the first ones up at the camp ground. Great to also meet Len and Paul from Vegas.

I had a blast with you guys, Otto you seemed like a prick on the Internet but you quickly changed my mind. I do not know about you guys, but it was like a family there. We had dinner together which was funny, party of 50, party of 50 your table is ready.

You NE guys kicked ass........

Look for great times in 2006, this is a event that we all need to be at

Russ was a real class act, so was Dave and Cal. Reaper was my bitch all weekend just like Nick said he would be

J/K Na reaper and Buzzard are cool people

Otto I felt the same going back to work today, is it 2006 yet

 

[Scott231]

I would simplly like to see you guys (Russ M, Otto P. and Travis) bring the rest of the right-coast crew with you next year. And you thought the Englishtown event was cool!

 

[Bobtempest]

Otto,
Congratulations on your new times.
Good going.
I always knew you were good guy even back in darker ages.
I wish you had came over to our pit, Leigh had some food for you.
You are heading to the top, one step away.

But ill tell you what, BRAKES are next stopping that thing from 146 was a chore with all stock brakes

Congrats, Otto...

GREAT job ! It was nice meeting you and Russ. Great to put a face to the name on the board. Both of you did a great job Hope to see you at Next years Nationals if not before.

OTTO is the man

It was a real pleasure pitting with you guys.. Now if I could just get that Russ guy to let me out of my pit.. Just kidding Russ.. It was a great time hanging with you guys and getting to know you both better along with Dick Kerney.. He is a LOT of fun and I feel like I have new friends for life.. If there is anything else I can ever do for you guys just let me know.

Old Goldie made a pretty good parts car for several guys out there. Glad I could help out.

Hope you guys come down to the BPG in August would be great to hang out some more.. I'll save you a spot if you come...

 

[Russ Merritt]

LOL! I understand.... I won't listen to Otto next year and bring in my own trailer so I have a place to park....... Best of luck to you and Roy getting your engines running again! Hope it all works out for you......

I'm really gonna try to go in August and Otto said he was too. Can't wait and I'll have my other car this time with a brake. No more double bulbin/emergency brake launchin for me.... YEAH DUDE!!!!
