Lane's SCA - 2001 SPC Rally (13)

On Wednesday morning (July 4), we checked out of the hotel, caught some breakfast, and headed over to the SPC clubhouse. Deebs and Tapp handed out the awards from the week's activities.

Some of the awards & recipients:

"Terrify the Peasants" award: Gary H, for his amazing precision driving on street tires & stock suspension out on the track.
Most Hardcore in the Shortest Time: Mike N, who attended two drivers' schools, bought some race rubber, and joined the club, all in a month's time.
Most Patient Member: Jason P, who waited most of Sunday in Southhaven MI for the group to arrive.
Highest NA Dyno Horsepower: Kyle K, whose silver 93 SW2 made 124 hp.
("Why isn't this horsepower much more than what the car is rated at stock?")
Fastest Quarter Mile: Jeff C, who ran 15.5 seconds with his blue 98 SL2.
Longest Distance Traveled: Ben J, who drove more than 14 hours each way from Dallas TX.
Drag Racing Bracket Winner: Justin H, with his silver 96 SL2.
Drag Racing Bracket Runner-Up: Jeff P, in the NMC Racing blue 01 SL2.

* The 94 SC2 SPC project car was excluded from the awards.

"The Toybox" (23k)

The group helped Deebs & Tapp unload the trailer (which had been nicknamed "the toybox" during the rally) and roll the project car back into the garage.

One by one, the group said their goodbyes and started the long trip home. We had looked forward to and planned this week for a long time in advance, and it was hard to believe it was over. We had a great time on the track, talking on the radios in transit, trying to maintain the caravan through the toll booths, lending a hand on each others' cars, and making new friends. Here's a few of them...
