Many thanks to Mike and Cindy McMaster and their extended family for hosting this major gathering of the clans for the twelvthth time. Hard to believe there have been an even dozen of this bucket list event but there have been.
 
Thanks to all the racers who travelled a long way and local racers to form a diverse group to share ideas and comradery.  They both go hand in hand in slot racing
 
Also many thanks to the prize and lunch sponsors. To avoid overlooking someone I'll defer to Tom Thumb for a complete list.
 
Already looking forward to R4/13.
 
Thanks again to the McMasters and Tom Thumb Hobbies.

I'll second everything Steve said. Plus, I'd like to thank Bill Fulmer for taking all the pics again and again and... and all "The Lazy Locals."

Mike couldn't do it without you guys. 

 

A great big 'thank you' to Gary Adams for donating the chassis prizes (I won the D Main Coupe)!

[Bryan Warmack]

And also a big thanks to Greg Wells for providing a lot of great pics and race coverage!!

Big thanks to Greg. The reporting and pictures were great. 

 

This is a branch of slot racing I know nothing about and it was good to learn so much about it and to put faces with so many of the names I know from blog.

You are more than welcome, Thom!

I sure missed being there this year, but am working hard to return to racing. Best of luck with the chassis!

Everything was top notch in my opinion and very well run. From tech to marking the finishing positions to lunch to race directing, etc. The Tom Thumb group was great.

My Thanks to Willy Custer. Thank you, Willy, for all your help and advice. While you handled your own winning race program, you also helped me enter back in to slot racing after three years of being dormant.

Thank you to Mike and Cindy. My first R4 is a great experience and it to helped me get back into the hobby.

Thanks to the locals Jim and Dave whom I pitted between. Thankful you were such great guys.

Thank you, Bud Barto,s for the great equipment to survive three of the lowest mains and be able to still take my cars home still raceable!

Thanks Noose for the painted fleets and Mike Muir for the awesome decals.

No problem, Mike! It was very cool to have you back at the races and I look forward to many more with you.

Thank you to the McMasters for another great R4! It's a thankless job but they put on a great event! Eric does a great job race directing and teching while being fair across the board!

Thanks to Joe and Frankie for being my help and entertainment LOL.

Thank you to everyone who ran one of my cars, it's great getting to support you guys!
