I’ve been to a few celebrations in my day. In fact, after parties were my thing for much of my race career. I like to party, I also like to throw parties. This past weekend was the ender-bender for AMO and we did it right: catered for 400 people, a pile of cocktails, 30 grand in prizing to give away along with trophies and special awards. Then to top it off a tear jerker video from Alan and Matt from Just Twist It. Oh, and Dave Bell stayed up till 5am playing music. It was a celebration of ages and for all that joined: it’s a lifetime memory.
Here are all the class winners along with the corresponding sponsor that helped make the night that much better.
Apparently, the food was dynamite. Unfortunately, I didn’t eat any, but as long as the people got fed right?Just fewer than 400 got served. Where does that happen?Vet 30 A Sponsored by Next Components: 3rd Tim Martin (not Shown), 2nd Michael Dissimino, and AMO Champ Kyle Keast.
