Andre's brother here, I was the hanger on with my girls in the lanes and pits. If I ever get my dart done I look forward to being fodder someday in the class.

I do not know all the details but he commits alot of time and personal money to make this happen. I hope everyone who participates recognizes that he does this for the stick guys and gals that run the class, he is a stick "guy", through and through. Asks for nothing but a good race and enjoys seeing the variety and the other hardheads in the class to have a showcase.

I enjoy it every year as do the girls. When it was over I asked them what was the best thing that happened, "riding in the car to the lanes" was the unanimous answer followed closely by the pool at the hotel. Without his commitment, that experience would be less for us.

So. Congrats Greg on the win and also to all the comraderie and acceptance. Also, thanks Andre and the other sponsers ( Irwin Engines, Brewers, Endless Destinations) for a good weekend and Andre for coordinating the show. Had a blast like every year, and a day later the girls are already talking about the "Mopar Nats" next year.

If things go well for next year, The commemorative Stick challenge T-shirt will be a special shirt to collect.
Keep a close ratio eye for it.

Congrats Greg....Very well done. I once ran into you at Atco,NJ a few years ago at a Mopar event and it was nice talking to you and seeing your 67 Convert.

One day I'd like to see your Barracuda run.

Greg.

Congrats Greg on your win, and good seeing you and chatting a bit.

Many thanks.
Interesting thing about luck, sometimes it works for you, sometimes agin you. I had probably the worst light I ever had in the semi. Into the final against Andre, and he was struck.

The reason I go to the nats is to see people I really like. Was one short this year, but beyond that still had the chance to visit with many others.

Many thanks to Andre. He organized the class, put his own money into it, and is a true gentleman. He is one of the people that helps keep your faith in humanity. Maybe some day though, he will understand about pockets t shirts.

I hope we get to do this next year. I will volunteer to be the official PIA to the race director, maybe we'll get a 2nd time trial.

Also, thanks to Brewers. It is great that a company that deals with manual transmissions/parts would support manual transmission racing.
