my response to FEST is it stunk!!! The water in the hotel that is - LOL!
I must say that year after year this event just gets bigger and better and I
become more and more proud to be a part of it as well as an attendee. This
year was the best yet - The larger location made it feel like a bigger event
and thus gave people a bigger experience as well as being more comfortable
to spread out in. The extras with the 1:1 cars and more room for the
contests and PSR racing were additional pluses.
I want to thank those who participated in the custom diecast event - bigger
and better than ever!! Each of you should be proud.
I want to also say it is a pleasure to interact, chat, bs, etc with each of
you from the board: Triple, TA Tom, Big Joe, Mopar Mark, Willys, Bobb,
Goose, Gerald, Kaos, shane, larry, scott, Al/Cindy, Swifty, Wyatt, the VW
guys, Mac Ragan and the list goes on and on........ !!
Furthers my opinion that this board is more than just diecast. As Ms.
Fleetwood - Jeffy's better half - and I were talking: This extends much
farther than just little cars - it is about hanging out with incredible
friends and seeing unbelievable generosity.
There are a few people I would like to recognize that stood out in making my
experience much much greater this year as they have in past years:
Mark H - The hard work you put into this, know that if this event ends today
you made your mark on the hobby successfully in this and past years!
Bobby (and Debra) - Your kindness, generosity is unmatched. I appreciate
the rides, the beers and laughs!! Although I kept hearing what sounded like
a helmet banging against my room wall Saturday night - "ROCK ON JOHNNY
LIGHTNING!!!" Next year we ARE going to McCormiks!!
Rob - You and your wife did an incredible job and the fact it was all for
charity shows your integrity!! My hat is off!
Mod - Your friendship has been appreciated since day one - You are a great
friend and I thank you for that.
Couple quick highlights that stand out, in no particular order:
a. Jeff Fleetwood's face seeing he won the Presidents award, after Kaos
told him someone smashed one of his customs - LOL!!
b. "Johnny Bobby Lightning's" brief appearance late Saturday night in the
hospitality room
c. The NEW Custom L Rebel Rod designed by Gerald and I. You know Art was taking mental pictures for a future release.
d. The South Bend Bum - what???
e. "GOT - Zilla?"
f. "I like them in 1/24th scale as 1/18th is too big"
g. and one late and final entry into the books - Bobby directing the
accident traffic.
FEST 2005 or BUST!!
