The "Low Buck" Issue...

I was taking food up to J.G. and Gabe in the press box/announcing booth when Andy did his super burnout. I was so wowed that I tripped and completely wiped out on the stairs, scattering chicken tenders and fries everywhere... so I ran around the stairwell, picked it all up, put it back in the little paper baskets, and took it on to the guys. I made full disclosure, but they still ate it--as I knew they would.

The moral of the story is that just as you always expected, publishing is full of glamorous behind-the-scenes stories. Glad you liked the issue--we really do have fun putting them out.

edit: I know it was Andy, but had a brain fart and typed "Denny." Stupid weekend brain-death.

so, andy, what amazine moster are you bring this year if we have to ask? is it going to a i could tell you but then i would have to kill you thing?????

i have to check the mail for my issue tommor now...errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i agree wholeheartedly with the OP...GREAT ISSUE.

I especially like the Redman + Spec Miata + vintage Porshe endurance racer formula...

Waiting for issue one of my ten-year sub- glad to hear it should be epic. :)

I really appreciate the Spotter's Guide. I try to meet everyone each year, but that's a challenge. It is great to read a blurb about every team. Loved all the pics and comments throughout the event. I wonder if Matt is still limping.

All the more reason for the office to go live on webcam, as David (jokingly?) alluded to.

i had so much fun at the $2008 challenge, and reading the article had me SMILIN' like crazy.

AWESOME event, awesone issue!

+1 on Tim's editorial. I'm guilty of past hooning, but setting a good example for my kids, losing a couple of friends in car wrecks, bicycling to work, and just aging into a more acute sense of my own mortality has caused me to (more) closely adhere to speed limits. I really take it pretty easy on the streets, these days, and I'm more relaxed, because of it. It's shocking how little time you actually save by cut-and-thrust driving, and doing it "for fun" now seems more than a little irresponsible.

Can't wait to read the rest of the issue.

+1 for a TIGHT top-five. Makes the whole event a lot more fun. My huevos shriveled a bit when I heard Gutty's drag times . Great job, and can't wait to see how you guys do next year.
