Hey thanks Barry. It was good to catch up. "If my granny had a ..." Ha!

Also, I'd be remiss to not mention your 1st place finish in ST2 and 2nd overall placing in the PAX listing.

Hi All,

Thanks for coming out to the Rumble, we hope that you experienced what we aimed to deliver. It was great seeing a large contingent of Ottawa folks come down to Picton. As with every event, we take input in the form of the competitors and try to implement them for the next year. Feel free to PM me with your suggestions for improvement and we'll see what we can do.

One of the big changes from last year (lessons learned) was the application of the Solo Bus to drop off the marshals to their stations. The result was, changeover time was significantly reduced.

Thanks all

Kudos to all the MCO members who made the trip down to Picton to kick some serious tail.

MCO occupied 7 out of the top 10 raw times from Saturday :D

Thanks to everyone who made this event possible :D I had a blast!

Another big thanks to all the organizers from SPDA and St. LAC! This event seemed to run very smoothly from the competitor's point of view, so thumbs up for managing this with such a large number of cars and the unique difficulties associated with monitoring a 3 km long couse.

Getting 6 runs each day on two amazing courses is just about the best solo II weekend I can imagine! It was also great to see the large MCO contingent show what we're made of up here. ;)

Can't wait 'till next year!

Kudos to the organizers!

I really appreciated the snack wagon and marshalling shuttles.

The people doing registration in the trailer were a friendly, helpful bunch too.

Top notch.

Excellent Weekend... best of the 3 years I've done. Sunday's course was a dream, such flow.

Congrats to Joe and his team, SPDA, and St. LAC. See you next year!

For those of you who didn't see it...this was the conditions during the course walk.

This was by FAR the best event I have done. Things were smooth, fun, and the courses were great! Some small issues with flow on Sat were worked out on Sun, and the reward was a WONDERFUL experience! Not as fast as before, but just felt amazing.

Thanks to SPDA, St LAC, and everyone involved in making this wonderful event happen!

what an AWESOME event.

It was my first picton experience and it was absolutely unreal. I was seriously intimidated during the course walk on saturday morning, but after a few runs I started getting the hang of it.

Thanks again to all the organizers, with a special props to Rob for you excellent hospitality. It was truly a weekend to go in the record books :thumbup:

Congrats to all the MCOers - we kicked a$$ :D

Had a great day Saturday. Thanks very much Joe and the SPDA and St. Lac crew for a friendly and fun experience. Events like this make you want to do more road trips.

Glad the slalom king bus driver didn't run in my class. Next time a noob complains about excessive body roll or having too big a car I'll have them go for a fun run with him in the magic bus.

No probs, it was a complete team effort. Glad we can add to your fun factor, more lessons learned this year to apply to next year. Yea, the bus was fun, Danger Dave is the nickname we gave the bus driver. He was hilarious, he actually went for a ride in Brad Showlers Corvette, had an absolute blast..
