Anarchy No Prep

2 days ago

"And that's how you put on the best No Prep event anywhere folks! Thanks for coming, and competitors...take notes!"

**DROPS MIC, WALKS OUT LIKE A BOSS**

OK, so *maybe* that's a bit much...but it's not far off. What more can I say? Anarchy has raised the bar (yet again) on how great a No Prep event can be!! That may sound like a cocky statement, but remember--it ain't bragging mfr if you back it up!!

Anarchy No Prep 2k19.2 **official** is officially in the books, and as they say in the movie biz--that's a wrap!! We had many of the baddest racers in the Midwest, as well as some seriously major players that hailed from South Dakota, Arizona and Texas! As "Head Race Put-er On-er", I could not be more pleased with the event as a whole. The whole Anarchy team performed flawlessly, and they deserve to be recognized first and foremost!

Management & Logistics:
-- Nicholaus Frank,handling logistics and working feverishly to keep the masses updated, both on FB as well as the new text update system (GAME CHANGER btw)
--Mark Mueller , organizing and rounding up all of the motorcycles and keeping them ready to go.
-- James Dodaro, keeping the staging lanes racked up and rolling (despite me stealing Luke a few times!)
--Luke, making sure the cars were grouped properly before sending them forward (and being my gopher)

Line: Amanda (Mama Bear), Chaz, Chris Fasco, John, Ted, Lindsay, Kenneth, Mike, Kevin and Adam

We started Friday with.....a lake. Torrential rains all week flooded the entry way to the track and made getting in a bit more interesting than expected. Luckily, it looked worse than it was, as that is the lowest part of the facility and floods easily. It also drains out easily, so it no time it was no issue at all. The racers and fans piled in, and the party got started!! 14 classes worth of exciting action kicked off at 1:00 pm (yes a little late, ripple effect of the aforementioned heavy rains), and from then on it was non stop action!! There were a couple of timing system issues that required a handful of races to be re-run (not pleased about it, but it happens--gotta roll with it!) The weather was perfect, the races were safe and largely uneventful and everybody had a GREAT time!!! Not counting the re-runs, the staff tore through the entire event in a little over seven hours!!! If you weren't there, you missed the event of the year!

Also, I want to thank the reigning "No Prep Kings" champion, Mike Murillo and fellow NPK racer James Strang for locking in last minute to come race with us. Both were a long way from home, with Mike hailing from Texas and James from Arizona, and were travelling from the NPK event in Bandimere, Colorado the prior week, to the next NPK event on September 21st in Norwalk, Ohio. We were conveniently situated along their route so it was a minor detour to come tangle with our Steamroller racers. Having these guys was an unexpected treat for the fans that watch them on TV, as well! Special thanks to Jim Hughes for helping with this!!

Their support means more to mean than anything in the world, and I love that they're now taking an active role in the program (except the youngest, he still has a few years before he has to work, too LOL)

I love you guys!!
Thank you.
