Lansdale Pa. ECHO Winter Nat's

I would like to thank all who attended Saturday's ECHO Winter Nat's. Without all of you, none of it would have been possible. A great time was had by all!! We had 22 racers, from 4 states. A 178 car field, not including the car show. I would especially like to thank Scott Dunlap for all his help!! Scott did alot of running around to procure the sponsor's donations. Special thanks also goes to, Chris & Lisa Taylor, Matt Naulty, and Al Pink for doing the paper work that kept the event running smoothly. Thanks to Steve "The Hippie" Kimata for running the timing system and keeping everyone in the "groove". Many thanks go to Hank Galloway, for donating his battery setup for the day. Which, by the way, started at 25.5v, when votage was measured after a comlete day of racing, measured 25.4v. So much for all that "voltage loss"!! FULL POWER, ALL DAY!!!!!! Thanks to Alan Galinko for his generous donation of a classic Troy Mead creation, which, was raffled off to help pay the rent!! Thanks also go to all of our sponsors:
AG&G Hobby
Penn Valley Hobbies
TSS Hobbies
The Groove
The Race Place Q-Town Farmers Market
