First Win Award

Four New Winners in 1 weekend!!! Attachment 1432

It took a year before we gave our first plaque to Aaron, then 6 more months before Jerry won his first race. Now we are having 4 new winners in a SINGLE weekend. As I signed the checks, I asked myself "Why didn't you limit it to 1 per family?", "Why didn't you exclude Australians?" and "Why are Mustang drivers even eligible?";)

Congratulations to Sam, Jay, Craig and Kevin

Who is next?

Hey Dan, this is a great award and very much appreciated. Rather than excluding Australians we can now consider this an international award in the CMC World Series. It works for baseball...

Thanks Dan! Things like this are why I think this group is the best out there. It's not just about having an award and getting money, but it shows the kind of things this group is willing to do for each other. We have everything from prize money for a first win to everyone chipping to work on someones car to ensure they can get back out on track.

The camaraderie is what attracted me to this series first, the racing, type of car, and cost came later. The first time I was at TWS for a DE I was wondering around the paddock checking out cars and saw at least five people helping someone work on their car in the garages between races. During the course of the weekend I didn't see that with any other group, and that's pretty much when I decided that if I ever got into racing it would be CMC/AI. I think things like that and awards/gestures like Dan's will do more for attracting racers than any rule change ever will.

The award alone is amazing enough. Add to it that there are 4 recipients in a single weekend is down right astounding. When did that ever happen in one of the other classes?
I congratulate all the winners as they surely earned it, and I congratulate Dan for stepping up and offering this award.

Thanks Dan! This is a very generous and awesome thing for you to do. It will be going on the wall in my office.

We may need one more for my son in about 16 years... Maybe we can be the first 3 generation winners.

This past weekend John Martin was added to the list of CMC First Win Award Winners. Congratulations John. By my count, that makes 8 since the start of the 2013 season. Very impressive.

What do they all have in common... they all drive Mustangs...

History lesson/Perspective - Richard is a Mustang driver too, even won the Texas AI championship in one.

8 Mustangs in a ROW!!!!

Using an Online probability calculator http://improbability-principle.com/ it appears that the odds of that are: 4.1 * 10²⁷ to 1!

Thank you Dan for the plaque, check and putting together this award! Also, thanks for motivating me to get into CMC. My family and I truly enjoy racing and hanging out with a great group of people.

Congrats John. Hopefully he didn't take the check out of your pay.

Dan-I like the rollbar tubing next to you that is going in your new car to make it weigh enough.

Gary Robertson "Rain Man"
We have a new 1st Win Award. Gary Robertson's win in R4 is historic:
- Last TWS Race (probably)
- First Camaro to win a First Win Award and we have been waiting for over 3 years.
- Rain Racing is the race of truth
So Gary, send me you address & ARC Specialties will present you with a First Win Plaque to be hung in a place of honor and a check for $300

Congratulations, if you win in the rain do you get to skip dousing with ice water?

Who is Next?

My first win was actually last year R3 at Hallett. Oddly enough, it was also due to rain tires. 30 minutes before R2, it was raining. Dan and I both put on rains. Sitting on grid, sun popped out and by the time the green waved it was bone dry. Combine full treads with some brake fade for good measure, I finished at the tail end. Dan finished near the back also. For R3, I started on the front row, Dan a few rows back. Dan came charging late to try deny me of that $300 check, but I did take the win. He must have really wanted that win, because I never received a First Win Plaque or the check :D I actually had completely forgotten about his generous award/reward. I was just happy to win at my favorite track. I did get the shower tho as Dan distracted me asking about my tonneau cover.

Nice job Rainman! And good to get your award-nice stuff Dan. Camaro still hasn't won a Toyo money tire race in years-only chance is an invert, rain, or some oddball shortened race.
