My Thanks!!!!!

First Id like to think my awesome Team Loud And Clear for a job well done! even with all the problems getting to tulsa you all still rocked.

Richard, Kevin you guys are some of the best and baddest builders in the game. your hard work and dedication to the sport is unsurpassed with Championship Builds in mullti orgs. I think it would be more of a challenge for you guys to try and lose.

Krissy your a pitbull girl, I love you to death aint no one in the sport going to get over on you.

you almost got that 160 unmanned! you smashed your class throwing a super sick number that was higher than alot of the boys in mod and prostock.
you could have taken 3 in 0-1000 mod, you would have taken 5 in 1001-2000 mod, 2nd in 2001-4000, you was 2 10ths from winning 0-600 prostock with only 12 volts, 5th place in prostock 1801- up with only 12 volts and would have also placed in jimbos class.

Wow if we only hadnt had the trouble with the trailer tires we could of had and would of had a few more nice trophies.

Special Thanks to Ralph and Most all of the USACI judging staff for job well done! This was a very well ran event!

Special thanks and Congrats to John Henry and TREO for all your help and wisdom.
You build some bad ass equipment sir this is the second world championship we have won togeather. Next year is going to be ON!!!!!!

Special Thanks to Brad,Tracy & Kicker for Building the loudest speakers in the world and your continued love and support for the team.

And most Importantly Thank you to all you freaking, 2 faced, back stabbing,petition signing,crybaby,haters for pushing us to do our very best work.

Im so excited about the new season I cant wait! we will be hosting a lot more shows this year than last and its my goal for the one person to be the point champion of 2010

If I forgot someone Im sorry! Good Luck to you all this year Be You Friend Or Foe!!!

hello donnie , i will admit to one sayiny hi and two to signing a petition , two faced no , we have said hi on several shows , i dont dislike any of you , Great number krissy , rich and kevin .
my only complaint was it seemed to me that this and last year you seemed to stroll in on sunday when most of us made it in friday night and endured the entire weekend as a whole , i did not know you broke down , i did also , left on friday 10 am , broke down in kansas city , rolled in at midnight . so what i am saying is when most of us show up on friday or saturday am , when we see someone show up after every one has run on saturday or sunday am it seems like a dis to all . if u understand this great , if not that is how we felt , that was not to take away krissy a good number two years in a row. CONGRATES to you on your score lets see you for the whole show next year so you can get the props you should have gotten for the score , if you dont like what i said , sorry .

damn donnie this is mark hill from car tunes i did not know brad was signed in .

ok mark... under the USACi symbol on the top of the screen there is a bar of different buttons... follow it all the way to the right ------------------------------> and click on log out lol just kidding... this is brad and good job on the number... sorry bout ur luck breaking down... what problem you have getting there?

Thanks Don for all your help as well. EVERYONE on our team is instrumental in making us a success. We can't do without one another and thats what I love about our team. My hats off to you Don, Kev & Kris you all are top notch in my eyes.

Congrats L&C... Awesome #

Not Me!

Awwww lol u go girl !!!! Bet I woulda looked pretty good in those too !! Lol.

thanks for the congrats and congrats to your team. we talk alot i get along with all of you. i too signed that paper, wasnt because i dis like any of ya . but for about the same reason as marks,,if it was anyone else i would have signed it also just seams unfair to show up sunday and be able to compete, i to never knew ya broke down was just told ya planned to show up sunday... so hope there is no hard feelings , i try to get along with all ...

congrats krissy on your number you kicked some ass. it was a great year competiting against you all year and i am sure we will see you in the lanes next year.

Donny,
I think Mark said how everyone felt. Granted we all know "stories" grow the more they are told. All we got was that a phone call was made to Ralph to find out if you guys could just show up on Sunday. Now having said that, if you had been there all weekend and had heard that about another competitor wouldn't that have made you upset? Also if Ralph would have said they broke down instead of not wanting to talk about it that would have prevented alot of misunderstanding as well. Next year let's see you guys all weekend so Krissy can get the respect and props she deserves for a hell of a number.

Hmmmmmmmm okay that answer my question on the paticion or however you spell it....LOl And i got to say i was not to particularly happy to see this happen two years in a row myself. Wow im really sorry to hear about the grandfather .. But hell guys i went Fri , Ran Sat then woke up sun morning at 5 and left to go to my best friend from highschools funeral and did like i was supposed to so i really dont see that as a proper excuse. I did what i had to by the RULES that were put forth... As per Ralph so why cant Loud and Clear????? Now i bye no means am trying to make that personal just stating a fact .... I like all of you especially you Donnie but i must say i would have signed it as well if i was there.. I think really it was more of a watch the scores till sat night know you had the winning number and jumped in the car... Now with that said again that is just my opinion on what happend. No matter what EVERYONE should have to follow the same rules... Mine was a DEATH and i still made it. I know that is harsh but its the harsh truth....


NOW AGAIN GREAT NUMBER AND JUST VOICING MY OPINION ON IT.. AND IN NO WAY WILL IT CHANGE MY FEELINGS OF YOURSELF , KEV, CHRISSSY, OR RICH. PERIOD... Still think of all of you as family and honestly family should be able to be honest and still be friends afterwards... Great Job .... FO SHO

And i wish i could have at least been there to talk with yall for a min and me and you donnie ummmmmmm well take a trip to da truck or somethin...HEHE i even brought ya a brownie fool

congrats to the the team, and krissy. hell of a score. good to talk with you guys this weekend and see you in the lanes next year.

As team President I would like to appoligize to all who were upset we were late getting to finals.
It made some people angry but it hurt us most of all we had planned on jumping into several more classes and take a few more wins, we Missed the fun of the after party as well!

If we had made it down on time some would have been mad that we beat them out of a spot on stage.

there was no rule that states you have to be there sat this year so no rule were broken so it was more about the morals with and hurting the feelings of other competitors.

jimbo what would you have done if the funeral had of been on Sat? if he was a friend you still would have went and tryed to run sunday am I wrong?
were sorry and we promise to be on time this next year with that said Im getting off this dreaded fourm and start getting ready to start our 2010 season. were coming back next year full force.
See you all in the lanes

donnie , thanks for responding and understanding , i went home last night after being the only one to admit that i signed and said Dung Pile i look like an ass , one as kitty said i heard same thing goind to show up like last year and run sunday and i said bsht. that being said if you understand great if not i stand behind it . Glad to see this mourning others admitting and still feeling same .

I know Jeff Signed it as well. All that was told was you guys were sitting at home and were gonna pull the same thing as last year.

No one recieved a call from you saying you had triler problems, im sure if you would have called any of your friends at the hall we would have came with our trailers to come pick you up.

But then again, You cant even say hi or talk to most of us anymore, so you dont want to call us friends anymore...so guess there was no one to help ya.

Its horrible that you feel the need to single yourselves out 2 years in a row. You had your chance to get points to avoid people bitching....but you didnt (kevin did Krissy didnt) You had the chance to be there on friday, but didnt.

If you want to quit getting all the negative attention follow the rules. Go get 200+ points, get you @sses to finals on friday, and quit actin so shady around everyone.

Best of luck to you all in 2010

I really wanted to stay neutral on this and not be the one thats gets fingers pointed at more than anyone else, but that will happen regardless so here goes.

if you would have broke down on friday night on the way to the show I wouldnt even have mixed feelings about this, but you admit to breaking down on sat not friday.

Mark Hill spent alot of time on the side of the road in KC replacing a fuel pump if im not mistaken, and still made it there.

2nd I was walking with bruce friday night by the lanes when a ? was asked to Ralph and it went like this how late are we going to allow people to come through the door to compete tmarrow he said and I quote "9am" no exceptions. Well one was made, and for what ever reason for it.

USACI is made up of members people that pay to have them memberships, and they deserve to be heard this is why the petition was typed up, and signed by ide say 90% of the members of USACI that was in attendance for the show. This isnt personal in any way, but factual.

I am not happy with the fact that I spent 300 bux for a hotel room for the weekend when I could have showed up and just ran on sunday. I told alot of people this sunday, and I stand by it it doesnt matter what ya say or try to get done Donny will always have flex room so why even stress over it try to enjoy the weekend and have fun.

We left Kc late friday night around 12:00 and broke down with a blown tire on tthe trailer and no spare. we spent the night in chanute Ks because nothing open I called ralph at around 8:30 sat morning we waited for a tire store to open sat morning but they didnt have a tire the size we needed. we unhooked the trailer and Kev and I went back to kc after going thru alot of crap we got a tire mounted and picked up a spare drove bcak to chanute unloaded fix the trailer left and drove down to get there early in the morning sun at around 1:30 or 2:00 I spoke to Ralph couple times with what was going on.

yes alan I wish you would have! We have plenty of proof in tire bills and a hotel bill that we paid for in chanute and one we paid for that we lost our money on in tulsa.

once again we broke no rules!!! it was a issue of morallity and feelings being hurt because you all missed us so much.
Once again I will say were sorry

ok. i just really really agree with baileys post.. you guys no doubt bring good scores and competition.. but its useless to do so when people dont respect you as a person..

Lets tell the story straight....

Question: How late can people get in tonight?
Answer: 9pm - no exceptions.

the "To compete tomarrow" was either never said or was not heard by me. EVERY YEAR we allow prople to move in on saturday morning for an hour or two. Then move out saturday night, and move in aqain sunday morning.

so only 1 step was missed then the move in sat morning its ok like i said flex is allowed.

if i were you and i am not , i would show my reciepts for the tires and times , hotel papers and then i and many will say sorry that Dung Pile happened , had it been the first time u were late we would not be talkin about it , i read that you were sorry ok ,,,,,, but i think the rules should read for next year if not in the lanes by your time dq , you must run before end of times in saturday . example run time 12 , Dung Pile wont work or broke down reruns between 6 and seven saturday . if not run by that time no sunday . if someone calls ralph as i and u did , ralph finds a small group of judges ( comittee) preselected maybee with som competetors and says so and so broke down has proof what do we do .

what does everyone think of that . fixes drama........i think all of us have a heart and want to see every one that tryes all year get a place at finals

point taken , lets move to next year , good luck to all . ( but with that many sigs im sure we are not done yet )

pics or GTFO? LOL!

Yep I signed it, When it comes doen to it alot of us would help you if you had problems.....But I dont think anyone recieved a call. Hell even Josh and Ryan whom you seem to still be cool with said they had not heard from you since friday when I asked themwhere you guys were.

Best of luck in 2010, I hope you get all your points for all your teammates and classes, and get to the shows on time and get the respect you guys deserve for putting up great numbers! If you have some shows this year im sure Iwill attend to spectate just to support someone who had supported us in the past. Best of luck don and all of L&C, hope you get this year straight
