Ok,
1. First off, hats off to Greg Dawes for putting on an unbelievable race. When a man goes out to push that many trophies to that many kids!!! What an unbelievable coordinator!!!! (my 5 year old got a trophy for 7th place and was tearing up hoping to get one)
2. Pack, that is one hard working pack, Food, tables, chairs, setup and cleanup, one guy wrote code to display race results on multiple laptops! There was like 5 screens projecting Race Results (10' screens or bigger)!!
3. Races 460 heats, 355 cars with only 8 or 9 redos on the three tracks! WOW!
4. Door prices, non stop!! I mean non stop! there was a man walking around with a dry erase board with 6 sets of numbers and he would walk in the other rooms to make sure everyone seen them!
5. Lego Room and Track, what a way to keep your kids busy!! The track was roped off, the kids would hand a car to people from Lowes and they would run it down the track for you!! My kids where in there for hours and came home and played with legos the rest of the night!
6. Star wars guys and Mascots walking around!
7. Live Video Feed, I haven't received much feed back yet but we have 7 hrs of Video per track!. I know some would drop but then I think it stabilized? Track 2 had the touchiest zoom and the Pro track was by a complete wall of windows (I'll see if I can darken it) (not bad for never streaming before, volunteer camera people and loaned equipment)
(I'm going over the video now and I'll see when I can get it together, and I haven't done video in 10 years!) Oh and we got the Mic plugged into Track 1!!
Thanks to Josh (DerbyChip), my Dad and my sister for running the cameras.
8. Claas had a conference room, almost like a small sunken video/presentation room with like 50 seats. I walked in and connected my laptop and put the cub scout race on the overhead.
Whewwwww, man my shoulders hurt the pressure was intense! I got 6 cars together though.
We pulled:
1. 3rd in qualified tiger (batman)
2. 1st in Tiger Scout Oil (spiderman)
3. 3rd in open adult (Mom's Car) I made her go up and get the trophy! hehehe
4. 7th open kids (the Mystery Machine)
5. black Ice is still running somewhere! (Pro Stock class) lol
6. Corporate Car (built one for Gregg Young Chevrolet) I'll post a pick later if I haven't already!
