Results from Vegas???!!
Well, a good time was had by all for the most part! The people who broke stuff might argue with me a bit tho!
(can't blame 'em)...
Bruce brung the badass GN, holy moly what a car! Too bad it din't wanna run! Actually, it ran GREAT, as long as he didn't wanna go really really fast! Anyway, a fuel or ignition gremlin seems to be the culprit, but that still needs to be worked out...
I didn't get to visit with everyone (again) like I wanted, too busy trying to sell stuff...(and thanks to everyone who visited US!) I did get a chance to visit with some of the 'regulars' and meet a few newbies (Like Bruce!) And I did get offered a chance to drive the Arizona GN wagon (so I'd quit whining, huh Nick!? ) BUT, I didn't have time, the wife wasn't thrilled with the idea, and I also didn't want to break anything! (I don't have the best luck in Vegas!) By the way Nick, I DID come over to thank you for the offer, but everyone was out racing I guess! So, THANKS, I do appreciate it! 
(and I brought lots of cheese to go with the whine!)
I'm not sure who took all the awards, Jack, Craig or Jon would have those answers! Speaking of the awards, thanks everyone for the compliments! I hope everyone liked them!
I took a few pictures (again, not as many as I'd like) and I'm going to send them to Jack for him to add to his slideshow! (WHICH, by the way, he has posted on the original sticky thread)
Gambling results-- not sure how everyone else did, but I think I came close to setting a world's record for blackjack losses. I played a total of 21 hands, and ended 0 for 21!
Actual tally was 0-19-2...If I could've bet that I'd LOSE, started with $2 and parlayed each losing hand....
I'd have won $524, 288!!
(and we won't even get into the craps escapades in Mequite on the way home!)
I just hope everyone had as much fun as me & Vickie did! Can't wait till next year (and who knows, my buick may even be fixed by then!)

The winners are shown at the end of the slideshow that BFH mentioned. I know some names, but not all; standing in the hot sun all day not only burned me to a crisp, but also gave me the ability to remember names for about 5 seconds.
BFH- At one point, there was a guy so impressed with your plaques, he was excited about buying raffle tickets to try and win one. I think he was greatly disappointed when I told him they weren't in the raffle. Several others were drooling over the thoughts of winning your kicka$$ plaques. Thanks for much for them!
Fewer complaints/issues this year, so it looks like people had a great time. There were quite a few breaks this year, including me. Scott A. deserves recognition for his break-numerous-times-and-fix-it-on-the-fly. He sent me a great picture last evening of his wheel stand.

Well
I wrecked (totalled) my truck on the way there, then had to sleep in it . But I won 2700.00 at the blackjack tables on Sat night.
Cal and all left the tables. Should have stayed. Jesse wanted to kill me!!!!
The big winner gambling was Dick Kerney who won well over 8K on the slots.
As for the cars, Race Jace (Jason Kramer) won it all. And he has one beautiful new child!!!!!
Too bad the 1BADGN didnt want to run well but it was the first 3 passes ever on the car and it was more of a shakedown. The crowd sure loved it tho.....
