We talked Lori into coming back! Best NG ever thanks the committee and sponsors.

[Gearheadvr4]

We all talked Lori into coming back!! Keep up the encouragement and make NG 2012 even better.

Took a lot of work but we had to be sure she understood that the NG wouldn't be the same without her. Regardless of any drama and lack of exposure from the other site we still had almost 150 cars and probably 250 people. Obviously the word got out...

Plus I can confirm there will be an NG 2012. Exact site is still up in the air but I'm hoping for something further west. Current thinking is that the core group of midwest and Northeast areas are what fuels the NG. I believe a more western location could be successful and bring in the guys that don't want to drive 24+ hours to get there.

Btw if a mod could please edit my title I'd really appreciate it. Should say "thanks go to commitee and sponsors.". Thanks!

I haven't even been to an NG yet, but thank you Lori and everyone else involved in putting them together :) Hopefully next year I can actually find time off & money to go.

murphy's law says that i wont' be available for anything next year. i'm due for a PCS and another deployment...so dollars to doughnuts, i'm f**ked.

[VR-4 0wnz j00]

I already planned it with the wife, I am flying from Taiwan back home to make next years NG! Seeing all the pics, I cant miss another one.

[stealthify]

That's great news! How can she top this year's??

[IPD]

That's great news! How can she top this year's??

ideas:

1. nelson actually makes a 1/4 pass in his own car.
2. nelson races jrod
3. we actually get a track-prepped pace car stealth to attend
4. we do short-track-circuit drag racing
5. we destroy a viper as comeuppance for 1991
6. auctioning off parts that people donate to NG
7. strippers
8. russianvr4 vs. 2mitsus
9. have the mkiv supra owners race each other for pinks

I meant for next year. Not for when hell freezes over! :)

[jrod]

I had a great time! Thanks for all your hard work, Lori!! Things went very smoothly.

As for Nelson showing and racing me, ha!

I sold my viper, I have something for him ;). I plan on bringing both cars next year.

[Chris GTO TT]

I'm currently sitting at the Dallas airport on my way home from the NG and it was EPIC!

I know I got up at the banquet and said it there but Lori does and awesome job with putting these together and it ran so smoothly this year. I'm so glad I got to see Lori and Alan again and everyone else too!

[FeaRpb]

WTF? I keep missing things like this lol. Fill me in!

[B-Man]

I know it's hard to do for insurance purposes, but I'd really like to see something like a time attack set up for road coarse.

Thanks again, committee and sponsors for yet another awesome NG.

[Geordon]

Our whole family enjoys ourselves this week, and Lori did a wonderful job!! If Alan and Lori need other suggestions for the next NG, I would love to run Mid Ohio. The ALMS races are spectacular there.

[beepbeep]

Yay!!!

Hell yea!!!!! STL3S crew did it like a champ and lori made it ten times better... DRUNKEN JENGA FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

[CoreyB]

Cant wait, I will make it next year!!!!

[green-lantern]

She was dead serious. We just couldn't let it happen.

Man I had so much fun Saturday! Lori was chugging out of the big jug of juice while everybody was yelling drink! drink! drink!

The drunk jenga was fun. If anybody went to bed early Saturday they missed one hell of a party.

[Chris GTO TT]

Stupid early flight :sulk:

Next year i think i fly directly into the event city so i can take an extra day off on monday

[Lori]

Ugh... Do we HAVE to talk about that?!?!

I WAS very serious. As a result, no planning for next year is done yet, which puts me in a bit of a pickle. But no worries - I'll figure it out. I have amazing help. I almost stood my ground only because I didn't want a reaction like that, but the truth is that I LOVE doing it, and I love the people more. I just wanted to do what was best for the event. I really expected everyone to agree with my reasons, but I was very wrong... So I listened and agreed. It'll be a tough summer, but we'll make it happen. I also promised no more roller coasters... I'm in this for the long haul. Unless something really major changes in my life and I just absolutely can't do it anymore, I'll stick with it. I promised at the banquet and I stick by my word.

[CoreyB]

Lori I couldnt be happier to learn you will do this again. Dont be afraid to ask me for any help you may need. I think I could contribute in a big way.

Lori I'm so glad you decided to stay and continue to work on this event for us. I meant everything I said each time we talked. Even though you are not a car girl, you still understand our obsession and know precisely how to feed it with events like the IMS parade lap!!! I can't say enough how good a time I had and how glad I was to get to see and talk to you and Alan again.

I am looking forward to more surprises in the coming years!

[STLVR4]

Great time!

Great cars!

Great people!

Cant wait for next year!

[Jimvr4]

Sounds like a great ending to a great NG11 :D

[Maximal]

Best NG ever, hands down. Can't wait to see what next year has in store. :)

[Broomfield Racing]

Definitely the best NG I have gone to. Bravo.

[HilbillyHomeboy]

I knew it would be the best one ever! :cool:

Thanks so much Lori(and the committee), for everything, past, present, and future. :)

You sir need to be at NG12!

[Lori]

I second that.

:thankyou:

[Show Killer]

Had a blast, met some new people and got to see the old school folks again. Great job by the committee members, looking forward to what you have planned for us next year.

May have set new Texas record. Drove 2400 miles round trip and had zero blown trailer tires.
