Thanks for the link!!

But wow... Was it just me, or was that hard to watch? The conversation /interviews were far from organic. Everything seemed forced. And it seemed as though the crowd was half asleep and not engaged. Either that, or they could not hear what was being said. Or maybe it was just me... Probably the latter..

From being there in person, it was a lot of happy people wanting to catch up with other happy people, so many side conversations about the announcements were happening as they were being made. It did make hearing some of it hard, at least for me in the midst of it.

Also, I was excited for Bailey Campbell and the off-road portion, but I am not up to date on the track racers, so I can see a similar situation for others –– you're tuned in for what you know, and listening to all the rest but it not making as big of an impact personally even though you know it's big news.

I haven't been to Michigan Central since it was refurbished; it was a cool experience and awesome what they can do with the space.

One other highlight: OGs will remember "David from the forums," and it was good to see him over on the Ford Racing team and hear about his time at the Dakar Rally!
