We want to acknowledge all of the volunteers that worked yesterday. If your name is left off of the following list, it is only because I do not know everyone personally who worked. Starting with our Vern Lockhart who volunteered his whole day, we couldn't have done it without you. Jamie and Brittney Millholland, you were everywhere, including the concession stand, Thanks! Steve Peters and his crew, Southeast Event Safety, also great concession help! Larry and Stacy, working in the tower, Larry having to be a million places at the same time, and answering questions from every direction. The girls in the ET Shack, you did a great job! The guys who worked the starting line with Vern, Great Job! Also, the guy(I think Jason??) who worked the front gate with Richard. I know there were many more workers that I didn't meet, but you were all appreciated very much. Great job everyone!

Now for the race results!
Quick Street was won by Eric Bowman(Ringgold, GA) over Kevin Shackleford(Chatta., TN).
True Street was won by Mike Robbins(Ringgold, GA) against James Taylor(Trenton, GA).
Billy Smith(Ringgold, GA) was the winner of the Street King Class against Tony Armour(Ringgold, GA).
The Bracket Class was won by Paul Casey(Westerly, RI) against John Gibson(Douglasville, GA).
Glenn McCary(East Ridge, Tn) won the Natural Aspirated Class against Allen Branam(Etowah, TN).
Paul Dishroon(Calhoun, GA) won the King of the Hill against Billy Smith.
The Import Class was won by Jonathan Jones(Ringgold, GA) against Jonathan Wilkerson(Ringgold, GA).
The motorcycles had two classes.
The 750+ class was won by Darren Burnett(Knoxville, TN) against Jeremy Hicks(Rossville, GA).
The 750- Class was won by Matt Patterson against Jamie(HitRod)Millholland(Fort Oglethorpe, GA).
Anyone who didn't see Bobby Cannon's massive wheel stand really missed a show. We hope you didn't hurt your car too badly, Bobby.

Thanks to all the spectators who came out on a chilly day to support the T.C. Thompson's Children's Hospital 3rd Annual Draggin' for Toys. Again, thanks to all, if you were not mentioned by name, you know you were appreciated. THANKS TO YOU ALL!!!

Thank you Sheree for your recap and we also thank YOU for all your efforts! :)
