Thank you all from SCNAX!

Post by Lily Liu »

Thank you all for making this event a fun one! Sunday was pretty smooth despite of the wind messing up the timing and the cones, driving people nuts inside the motorhome. We encountered several set backs on Saturday but, in the end, we pulled it off and I was very glad to hear from many SCNAX cup participants that they really enjoyed the event.

We couldn't have done it without all the people who went above and beyond to help us out throughout the weekend. There are so many people outside of SCNAX that I want to especially thank and I'm very sorry if I leave you out right now because I'm so brain dead: Lisa Severy, George Schilling, Maggie, Gayle and Bob Jardine, Dave Bauer, Christine and Theresa Berry, Mike Simanyi, Sebastian Rios, Rick Brown, Jeff Wong, PFM guys (sorry I didn't get all your names), and Renee Angel. :thumbup:

Agreed. I had a great time Sun., and loved the course...very challenging. I was really disappointed to miss the SCNAX cup this year. Hopefully next year!

Our worker chief Mike Kazmierczak would like to also extend special thanks to all course workers who worked extended time on Saturday as well as those who jumped in to help out on course when we called for volunteers!

Thanks everyone. The course was fun and challenging.

Wind sucked! Or blew. Most common heard phrase on Sunday? "Hold the start"

Weather happens. Thanks again to SCNAX and those the do the things you do.

The SCNAX Cup is the most fun of any event all year. A big thanks to the SCNAX for putting it on. Great course BTW, continuing the tradition of wonderful courses we've had this year. A big thumbs up for the entire weekend. :thumbup:

Thanks Lily and all the people who put in extra effort to make this event possible. I love the course, it is nice and long and has many different elements, I was on the edge of my seat all the way to the end. I just need to work on my driving skills, I can't wait until the dirver's school :D . Mako, those pictures are great. Peter

Good job Lily and SCNAX!

Good shots, Mako, especially Theresa and Lisa [I rhymed!]

Great to see familiar faces and thanks Bill for letting me stroll the course from behind the wheel of you car!

Big Thanks to the Event officials and Volunteers for this Fun Filled Weekend.

Was my first SCNAX Cup event and truly enjoyed the format.

A few things that the SCNAX Cup is good for:

1. Team Commoradorie and competition, even inter club, some of my own club member were offended by my team's name :twisted:
2. Driving both of my cars at one event! Thanks to Mako driving all over the city to make it happen!
3. Jarring loose and finding a missing bluetooth headset in the car you don't normally autox- been missing for 6 months, found next to gas pedal EEK
4. Burning up old rubber you've been meaning to, 4 year old rubber on my STI ! EEK
5. Excitement for your teammates as they constantly improve their times in other people's cars!

Winning was the icing on the cake though. A big Surprise to us as we only had a early morning update of sitting in 4th.
FYI, our team had the most challenged PAX index out of all the teams, but we pulled it off with enough clean/fast runs to win it.

BIG thanks again to all who chipped in!!
