Absolutely agree with what you say here, but I also see what you say there too. You seem to paraphrase Jim quite often and take a strong interest in rebuilding a possible future CI event, whereas I do not.
Of course I remember you Jeff, and I am not bitching at you either. You do raise valid points, I raised some more in return from a much different perspective. I attended six CI's, I know what they were, and I was also there to see what they dissolved to. I'm pretty sure I know why, and now it's our time to fix it, so to speak. CI was once my absolute favorite event of the year, and many of the members here are my closest friends. Those who feel the same are very excited to do it again this year, and for more in the future. All we can do now to resurrect the event concept is to repair the damage done, which wasn't our doing. Hope to see you in the future, my comments are nothing towards you personally, other than advising you to not believe the hype sometimes. |

This is one of those rare occasions that I'll pat myself on the back...for a reason. As I said in another thread, I've planned CI-X, BR I, BR II and a precursor to BR I. I put an awful lot of work into making sure that those four events were and are successful. So when someone goes into a thread at CF knowing that we have announced BR II and makes a misleading statement that no event is on the calendar for May, then comes in here and talks about "our great event"...well...I get a little chapped. It's clear that a few folks are upset over the fact that Cruise-In is dead. I count myself among those as I had many great times at the three I attended. But that's no reason to downplay another group thats trying to carry the torch because you feel you've been shafted. No disrespect intended here, but sometimes, it's better to say nothing at all. |

In for the Roll Call - arr Fri early, dep Sun late, staying at the Hampton.
Arriving via Delta and National instead of the 2010 GS, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made! Reward paid Friday morning for a plate of Dixievette's smoked mac-n-chz from Thursday night - hate missing that! I will be sure to bring some California Sunshine! |

I'll be sending a group PM to some CF members based on past CI attendance. Will be letting them know that NCM is sponsoring an event and will direct them to the NCM schedule, this thread and the hotel discount thread. |

Won't be able to grace you all with my presence again this year. Sorry. Got other pressing issues that must be dealt with.

I'm doing my best to get there. I miss you mang. You DO remember our back and forth banter going into the event where I almost killed myself falling off of your trailer don't you? You were certainly confident going in that it was your event. |

I challenge you to find anyone who will vouch that I ever talk trash, win lose or draw.

You know we are both extremely fast, talented drivers, but you seem to have forgotten our back-n-forth leading up to the first meeting. I would have never been so arrogant with you leading up to the 2nd meeting, had you not set the precedent in the first event. Regardless, it's all good. I like you very much Val, and we both went in different directions in our driving prowess. You are a road race ace, and I've stuck to perfecting autocross. We complete each other. |
