Thanks for posting the results. How was the weather out there for racing?

Terrible. Friday teased us with temps in the mid-70's and clear skies.

Saturday morning there were CLOUDS!!! And it was COLD. I had to put a jacket on. It must have been close to 55 out!! Then the clouds cleared out and it got HOT. Must of been close to 80!! I got sunburned, and the sun got in my eyes.

Then we got hit by a couple of "Dust Devils" - miniature tornados that blew some chairs over!!

I hope the weather is better next year!!

BTW - thanks Steven for you support. It was greatly appreciated.

You don't know the half of it. Tony had an "incident" with the concrete on Saturday afternoon, late. He spent all Saturday night in his hotel room fixing the boat, so well in fact that you could hardly tell the damage (which was NOT minor).

Amazing comeback and some solid driving on Tony's part!!

I wish I had gotten mine going in time. This was a fun looking class.

Congrats TONY!! Way to go brotha

Hats off to Tony Heller for a 1st in the OPC SV Tunnel class, Dick Roberts for 1st in SV 27 Mono and Bill Malvey for a 2nd in P mono! Check out some of the names of racers in those flights. Certainly no free lunch in those classes!

The Heater Award is a traveling trophy that we hand out to the racer that can physically and emotionally show that FE is in his blood. He's the racer you want to pit against and the one that other racers start cheering for when he's on the drivers stand. For his thrill of victory in OPC Tunnel after a night of wrenching, repairing and painting, The Heater Award goes to Tony Heller! The guy is hooked. Bad.

He's the racer you want to pit against.....

You certainly don't want him pitting FOR you....

Actually Tony did very well this year, hence the Heater award...
His lap counting has improved tremendously and he neglected to count laps on only one occassion that I know of.... j/k, bro!

Omg !!!

I'm just totally overwhelmed with what great friends I have in this thing we call FE ! [ I'm so thrashed right now, after driving 200 miles last night to Kingman AZ to visit a friend, 400 miles to just now arrive in LA, & have to bolt to a commitment in a minute,]; I'll be back in a few hours ! Just want to say Thank You All, far and near.

Peace & Love, Brothers,
Tony
