BWRP - First Things First

[pdy]

I should have some great racing videos from the Double-Crown at Buttonwillow in a few days.

But first, a big THANK YOU to the many volunteers who helped make this a terrific event.
Please forgive me if I am missing anyone...
Ted Myrus and his son Ted who came up just to work grid.
Susie Amundsen and Dave Gardner for all their help with timing, pace car, and other tasks.
Ralph Linares who also stepped in to help on grid.
The National folks - Bruce, Jeff, and Franklin.
Mike Avitt driving the pace car (you look good in a Panamera, Mike!)

And finally, I can't say enough about Greg. He had the vision and courage to make this event a reality,
and the non-stop dedication and hard work and to make it a huge success!

WOW!!!
