Bandimere: Great People, Great Event

[RichSJ@aol.com]

Hi all!

I think I can say everyone that attended Bandimere this year, had a great 
time!  

I was lucky enough to set a new NEDRA record for street conversion "A" 
classification.  I'd like to thank a few people who were part of the effort. 
A BIG thanks to:

Bill "Sparky" Dube' for organizing the event, getting Bolder to give 
SecureStarts for prizes and for offering his home for get-togethers and beds.

Steve "Professor Gadget" Marks for capturing and reporting on the event, his 
help with the White Zombie, for getting ice, food, drinks and for putting 
John and I up in his Hotel room (and putting up with us).

Jeff "Ice Man" Yoder(sp?) for stuffing ice in the White Zombie's controller 
cooling tank, for single-handedly pushing the Zombie down to the staging 
lanes on my record run and for helping us pack-up.

Rich "Mad Man" Rudman for lending us his clamp-on ammeter and for warming up 
the Zombie "properly". :-)

Brian "Bad in Black" Hall for bringing Oakley on board as a NEDRA sponsor and 
for bringing the sunglasses.

John "Plasma Boy" Wayland for his generosity in bringing me along on the trip 
and letting me drive the Zombie to a new world record on Saturday, my 
birthday.

Also, thanks to NetGain Technologies for their sponsorship of the 
NetGainTechnologies/John Wayland White Zombie.

If you helped at Bandimere and I missed you, I'm sorry. I appreciated all the 
help we received.  It takes a lot of great people to make a great event. I am 
very grateful for all the help.
