Hey guys/gals,

I made it back home.
The WCC (and the days before it) were an absolute blast. Words can't describe it...
It's been too much fun.

A very BIG thank you goes out to:

Brad, for having me tag along (hope I wasn't too much of a PITA )

Rich Bontempi and the guys at HPH for letting me hang out

Jeff Bowlsby for taking leadership on the WCC. You did ONE HELL OF A JOB!!!

Rick (Alien) and family for their commitment making it out to the WCC all the way from Minesota with the awesome Alien car and making those fantastic awards/throphies

John Peterson (VegasRacer) for letting me drive his car at the AX (although I made a complete ass out of myself out there ) and the very cool embroided shirts (see pics)

Howard, for letting me drive his 914 on the 17-mile-drive. That was fun!

Geoff & Monique, for hanging out and the cake/cookies (see ya guys in august)

Jason, for letting me crash at his place

Sean, you're presence was missed. I got your hats (Pete Stout from Excellence is wearing one of them) and for the shitload of work you did for the event

Lawrence & Dave (Korijo), you're presence was missed as well... Next year!!!

Scott Yeaman, for hanging out at his place

RichardL, for hanging out and diner

Hayden and Tracey (WEVO), for hanging out and lunch

Jenny, for letting me wrench on your car and your overall sweet presence

Nathan Breitling, for the ride-along at Laguna Seca

DD and Demick for the ride-along at the AX

Demick & Rob Ways for organising the AX

And last, but definatly not least... Birgit!
I enjoyed having you as a passenger sunday in the 3.0 /6 (things don't get much better than that )

All the other guys/gals that helped making the WCC such a HUGE success (either by helping set it up or just for being there). I think we set quite a bench-mark for any and all future events...

I'm sure I forgot some people. Sorry if you don't see your name here - I'm tired and weary)
It was great meeting everybody "in the flesh" instead of just from the other side of a computer screen and it was all of you who made this an unforgetable experience

THANKS ALL !!!

Cheers,

Jeroen

Heey Jeroen,

I believe there was some event taking place here in the netherlands too.... glad I didn't go checked out the forum .. ahum.... they just keep bitchin'

anyways,

greets

Jeroen,
Thank you for making the trip (no small committment in itself), for the graphics and for the rally shields. Your presence was a real compliment to the WCC and gave it international recognition!

Also, your work on the graphics and providing the rally shields was way beyond the call of duty. We're in your debt.

Thank you Jeroen Who knew that in less 1.5 years a clubsite would go from drawing board to reality and be so successful ? We have come a long way together since the days of the ALL914 chat room. I look forward to working with you on future projects and continued growth of this site. Your a great person/friend. You are always welcome at my house/HPH.

Birgit had a great time riding around with you in the 3.0/6. I *think* she likes the power... her next one might just be a 6.

Well... THANK YOU!!!
You made all the efforts more than worth while
It was great to be welcomed by so many and I left with warm fuzzy feelings

I still can't believe how HUGE thing thing turned out to be
It was a humbling experience to be part of it...

Oh, and Brad... Give Birgit a big sloppy kiss from me the next time you see her

cheers,

Jeroen

Great.. now I have a reason to lay one on her...LOL Just what I needed.

I still need to fly over some day soon. I would like to meet and hug Zoe. She looks like a bundle of joy.
