Tim, I'm glad you were able to be a part of this, as you played a vital role on the genisis of this whole movement!I would like to thank the members of 3WW who came out and joined the OTC along with .ORG people and the non-forum people to make our very first national event a huge success. The official count was 41three wheeler race entries.

Everything went off without any major hitches, and to the relief of the promoter and those involved in putting this together, those potential problems for which we had to be prepared never materialized. There were no major crashes or injuries, and no dirty racing or deliberate contact, which made us look good to promoter and spectator alike. It looked like everyone had a good time, and it was also pleasing to see so many long term, personal feuds dismissed, and bridges rebuilt by the event’s end.

As it stands now, we are planning on working with Bud and doing this again next year, and hopefully with improved cooperation and communication between 3WW and OTC, we can see an even more positive event in 2013. The one area that could be improved is everyone’s cooperation in keeping negativity off the internet and out of public view. It preceded our arrival and helped no one. This was the only mention by the promoter on the negative side of the ledger. There will likely be a few changes next year, but probably nothing major, other than the questionable future of AMA involvement. These details will be announced on the OTC Forums as they are worked out, and linked here as well. I would suggest putting tether kill switches on the Mod 70s, and being prepared for the width restrictions just in case.

It is also likely that the OTC will be scheduling other public events at Pine Lake in 2013, which will be announced on our 2013 schedule, as the interest seem to be sufficient to justify more than one race opportunity there. The public is invited to any event announced on the forums or appearing on our schedule.

There is also the possibility of yet another new national event on the OTC schedule, but its premature to get excited just yet.

I would also like to thank everyone for respecting our privacy at our series makeup race event for active members only at Pine Lake this summer, and I’d like to thank the selflessness of OTC guys who quickly chose to give up the EDT race from our series and get behind promoting it publicly when we saw all the public interest from racers who do not normally come out.
