• Scott Cole for bringing the thunder to the Thunderdown.
• Tim Ek for getting back out there after yet another catastophic mechanical and showing us what WEMS is really about.
• Steve Engel for marshalling half the day on Horn Lake Road and still getting back to win the 3 hour race.
• my entire immediate family for keeping all of you company on Loop Road.
• Ted and Kaye for holding down the fort at the finish while I was galavanting around the course.
• Red Eye and little paper Heed cups.
