I didn't win the race. I am having a hard time dealing with that right now. :)

Inability to push the Z4/Z5 stuff

Event comments:

There should really be a better party after, but I guess that everyone just wants to go to Thanksgiving. They should look into limiting the number of participants. Too many peeps (1000's)were still not corralled at the gun.
