Thank you ALL for a great Finals

I just want to take a minute and tell you ALL that I really enjoyed each and everyone of you this weekend. I love doing what I do and most of all doing it for you guys! I have to say I really enjoy seeing you guys year after year either at Finals or at the local shows. If I didn't get to see you or shake your hand I am so sorry, as I was so busy running all over the convention center taking care of business, but know I really appreciate ALL of you coming out and supporting USACi.

Finals in my opinion was the smoothest finals I think we have ever had, minus the few hiccups we had. Even with that they were handled and squashed immediately per the rule book.


NOW MY THANKS TO EVERYONE:

Ralph I want to say Thanks for staying out of the lanes, except once but it was needed well kind of. Let's face it you did a great job this year, even with trophies and all, the fact that you were actually smiling most of the time which was nice to see for a change.

Brenden for teaching me all the secret apps on phones, you are truly a geek.

To the Volunteers/Staff THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK, without all you guys we couldn't of done it. Connie - Joey - Charlie - Pat - Terry - Mike - Joy - Brenden - Tim - Blondie - Joel - Darville - Bruce - and the Mexico Judges (hope I didn't miss anyone )

Jimbo for coming up to me telling me how much you enjoyed Finals and the compliments on your THANKS page to me.

Chris Fish for making me laugh so hard with the Saturday night drunken mess that I had to learn from the security and all your help in the early mornings setting up. (Have him explain it to you if you don't know, very funny story)

All the guys Bo, Fish and the rest of you that got there at 5:30am Friday and helped me unpack 5 crates of Trophies and assemble alot of them. Guys you were great! Thanks so much and for bringing me breakfast as well

DBDrive Team just for being a great group of guys and making sure I had something to drink when I needed it. I love you guys. Oh and Ben I am going to take a rain check on the manicure, pedicure and massage because I really need it right now!

Supa and Bo for just being my laughter in the lanes with your yearly surprises. Supa you are a crazy fool chasing Ralph around to get your kiss in your undies.

Sorry John Chapman that your luggage got stolen and I hope you had a great time other than that since it was your 1st finals. If you have his luggage by accident please send it back to him :/

SanMan for doing a OUTSTANDING job in verification, which made my job so much easier as Head SPL Judge this year with all my other jobs. I would love to have you back as a verification judge next year! Angie thanks for bringing me chicken, it was yummy!


I know I am forgeting something here but Wow there is so many to thank that now I see how hard it is to write this. I will probably be adding to it after I get some much needed sleep this week.

Thanks you ALL again for everything!

Thanks for putting on a great show.

Awesome Event !!! Already looking forward to Next Year !!!

Great job Jenissa thx for a great show

the only reason ralph had a smile on his face all weekend is cause of me slappin that ass every chance i got.

and you kissing on him....

Yeah Supa was chasing Ralph all weekend trying to get that kiss and finally did it at the SanBar too.

You are a NUT Supa!

Had a great time! Thanks for making it smooth.

Thanks Jenissa, Sanman & Ralph for all your help, without everyone coming together like we did Finals would not have been such a success.

@ Jenissa no problom i was happy to be apart of a Team that made this year a sccusess. i really enjoy coming and hanging out. ill be back in action next year.

It looks like it was a one man show. sorry one woman show. lol

By the way, Thanks for everything about the issue with the mike. I know it was not your fault...... The only thing going through my head that afternoon was why reset before the test. There goes the comparison out the door.. oh well

Despite having so much to do, you pulled it off. I tip my hat off to you..
I think everyone will agree with me, you did an EXCEPTIONAL JOB.

Awww Thanks Kumar but it was by far not a one woman or man show, it took the whole staff to pull this off. I might of delegated some but without the entire staff working Finals it wouldn't of been as smooth as it was.

We appreciate you all coming and celebrating the 25th Anniversary with us and hope to see you in the lanes next year and of course again at Finals.

Guest on this post is ME

Yep, yep....had a great time regardless of the bag incident. Prolly shouldn't have had so many of those double scotches. I would've preferred if they would have walked off with the bad sub(s) instead.

i had a shitzy time ,,,im to old for this crap .....heaq hurt ,,feet hurt,, legs hurt ,,back hurt,,
but for real it was a good show very smooth ....
just wish there was 20 30 more competitors

After this year, we should have a lot more coming back. Lots of competitors followed false rumors and did not come as a result. 2012 is already off and running!

there should be some more midwest boys being way way closer ....
i know im bringing 3 cars next year

ill be there next year!! gonna have to step my game up im sure its gonna take alot more to win next year!!

My question is will it be in the same place, I really enjoyed it there.

Halfway between you and I would be nice

Honestly I really want to move it a little further north for the guys up north, so with that said I would like to move it to Arkansas. I am checking out venues now on that move and will let you know as soon as I figure it out

Sounds like a swell idea, little rock would be alright but its whatever Memphis would be bad add to, its kinna like a crossing for a lot of people
