    My only regret from this night is that we were so freakin busy and short handed on the track side we didn't get shots of everyone driving. Mainly just my cars because I was hollering at someone to pickup a camera for a short bit. Next time we will have a dedicated film team! Also, shout out to Parker for pulling an all nighter with me to give Rocket a shot even though it didn't work out. It was a freaking awesome weekend regardless!

But hundreds of thousands of people watch these guys every single day and become part of a family.. People come from all over to go to meet and greets. Cleet doesn't have to do those in parking lots and stuff. Where they get kicked out, and cops come, etc etc.
      He can host events at an actual race track.. That's his... And everyone can come and take part in the hobby that brought us all together, whilst potentially meeting their favorite UA-camr(s).
      Excellent idea.
