Thanks for putting on a great event!!  Had a great time, met some new members there and saw some great cars. Really surprised to see double vision identical 68 Hemi Darts  Couple of members won in their class and they can jump in - congrats to all the winners  As far as my performance lets just say the car did it's job but the idiot behind the wheel just sucked  .... Hemi showdown was fantastic ---- Had quite a few real nice show cars there and also was surprised at all of the spectators in the stands!!! Also thanks to the PRP team for the upgrades to the track since I was there last and also to the PRP team for giving us a good track to run on - they did a real nice job. Russ

Want to thank Bob for putting on a great event!!! Plenty of racing as there was a full event on Saturday as well as a full race on Sunday! My son Casey wheeled the Whompin Wedge to the winners circle both days in the Max Wedge class! Already looking forward to next year. This has always been our favorite event. Poppaj

It turned out to be a great weekend, the racing was terrific. On behalf of Bud's Auto Sales I want to thank everyone who participated in the Hemi Showdown on Saturday evening...everyone seemed to enjoy it and it turned out to be a good show.
One of the absolute highlights is the "generation race" on Father's Day morning....dads vs sons; dads vs daughters; sisters vs brothers etc; all in fun and as a dad it creates memories that I will take to my grave with me. A great touch, and Bob G is responsible for this, was the photog coming through the lanes and taking pics of the generations before the race. I cannot wait to get mine!
It was a first class event, run by first class folks! Absolutely first class. I'm proud to have been involved.

I’d like to give a thank you to Bud’s Auto for sponsoring the Shootout and catering the food on Saturday. And specifically Kyle Reasbeck for picking up the food and doing all the “traffic cop” duties for the weekend, unfortunately it cut into some of his racing time.
I will say I really liked the Showdown format, hopefully it catches on!

It was the first time for me at the Curt George classic, and I thought it was a great race, I'd like to thank Bob and all others that helped put it on, great race, with a great meaning to lots of the racers who attended. From what I heard about Curt George at the race, its a great loss, but seems to me he was a chip off the old block, I'd sure like to thank Bob and all his associates who assisted, also met several memebers there and look foward to seeing all you again at some races in the future. Again thanks to all

Thanks Bob for great event,it was good to be able to spend some time with you. We had a blast pounding the BGR prepared Cuda and as always it ran flawlessly. (I just point and shoot)now if I can just get the weak link behind the wheel (me)worked out I'll have it made. And thanks to PRP for a great place to race.

It sure turned out great. We had a couple of guys who wanted to come, but could not at the last minute.
Would be remiss if we didn't give a big kudos to our good pal Tom Taylor, whose gorgeous red 62 Plymouth runner-upped to Casey in Max Wedge on Saturday evening. Tom also had a great showing on Sunday, as well. The entire Taylor family is such a class act, it is a true pleasure to be around them.
We'll post pics as soon as everything gets together....in the meantime, if anyone out there tooks some and want to post them, please do by all means.

Bob- Great job for a ist class event. I would also like to thank all of those other people responsible for the help with this event, I would believe that their are a lot of those people who we never recognise and they deserve a lot of the credit. And in closing I would especially like to thank Curt for his help with bringing us nice weather and we still will never forget that kid with that big, big smile - rest in peace - what a hugh loss !!! HEMI JOE & JEAN -Endangered Species Racing
Thanks,Hemi Joe and family.Everyone who helped put the event on and everyone who attended deserves thanks and respect.I can't tell everyone enough how much it means to spend a weekend with so many great people doing what Curt always did,"racers helping racers,playing it forward"
