It's been a long day after.
I really can't say enough about the volunteer spirit that we have in the club. After I arrived onsite, I was chatting with Dustin next to the bus and just looked around at the swarm of activity around there. Nobody had to ask someone to set up the timing equipment, it was just done. Nobody had to ask about the display. Nobody had to have their arm twisted into setting up worker stations. It was just done. Perfectly.
There's a reason why the SCCA hasn't been able to get a foothold in upper North Carolina, and it's THSCC. I often hear about how much other local clubs around the US suck, and it makes me both laugh and feel grateful that I'm surrounded by such people.
Thanks also to the people that slid extra checks, cash and backpatting my way at the event. It all means a lot, and insures that I will be involved with a fourth annual V Foundation event next year!!!
I also ran some estimates today about the total raised, and
. I'll have firm numbers later this week after Amy has a chance to gather herself and divide up monies, but
. As locals say in Wilson, we done good.
Lastly, I'd like to thank Scott Johnson. He was there as president (and co-worker) when I was brainstorming the first event, and has seen the evolution into something truly special. And he did the event chair duties with a wife and kid at the event. And drove the bus down. And was point man on the phone contacting most of the sponsors that donated money and prizes for the raffle.
I tip a beer in the general direction of south Durham.
