These are the unofficial "tounge-in-cheek" awards that should have been given out at Carlsile...

There's a story behind every one, but that story is best responded to by the recipient of the award...

And, hope that you enjoy the "top Ten"... blame me if you don't like 'em.... just remember that these are given with humor in mind...

This award given for excellance in leading the golf cart police on a merry chase all over the Carlsile grounds, and finally requiring three blue-light golfcarts to trap them. Just how fast were ya'll goin' anyway.....

Seeing them fly by in the 90q was priceless, and then seeing the Tracker and golfcart (with light!) follow them slowly. Doesnt get any better than that. Its almost been a week, it seems forever a go I left town for the event, but doesnt seem that long since we all were hanging out and eating yummy burgers. This event was truly very fun, and I hope the attendance will grow next year.

With that nice lead paint. I definately think Duan thought he was going to get some sort of disease from it. Just remeber heat kills germs. I did the odo/speedo today, but forgot to take pics for you, don't worry I'll do it again tomarrow. I ran a wire from working tach light to non working odo light cause Audisport said it would work. Now neither of them work along with my diff lights. Thanks audisport J/K. How do i get these damn lights u gave me inside the white holders/ or the old ones out to get them in. Awww! my hellas quit again today. 4 hours of car work and the only fixed is my high beam light and got my Euro plate on. Pics will be up when I get the film back.

With the top dash cover off, move the bulb holder around til the lights come on. They can be very tricky if the circuitry behind the bulb holder is old or worn away. I went through a few clusters with the same problem, it sucks.

What was the story on the 80 (I think that's what it was) with the huge ***. Maybe they were going for the Pontiac Aztek look.

StormChaser404

Thay also filled in the rear deck lid with bondo. Trying to go for the RS2 look, maybe?

PJM99

one big bump and that thing will shatter.

Yup, and it totally looked like bondo, not even at all...

I had a great time visiting and meeting all of you at Carlsile. Had some great conversations with people, and enjoyed some wonderful brew from NC. I didn't make it back till late in the day on Sunday so I missed most of the activities. Stupid highway was closed down for a while and I sat in hours of traffic someplace in the middle of nothing... without any maps to take an alternate route. (I had gone to DC Saturday night to see some other non-Audi friends, guess I should have known... I was punished with the traffic ).

Anyway loosing the tire while driving around the show was great... I will never forget Dwights face when the wheel came of and he said "What the hell was that!!!" I said I had no idea, and the car continued to move... then the crowd went into aplause, and I figured I had better stop. Slightly embarrasing, but hey it was an adventure!!! and my broher wasn't to mad at me.

Anyway I had a great time and just wanted to say hi... I was promoted to another "daily job" within the company I work for (First Transit), so I have been a bit busy getting ready for transitions and what not. I'll be lurking and saying hi still!!! Anyway I hope all is well with everyone and I am looking forward to seeing everyone next year!!! I wont be at WF as we have a race that weekend, but I went last year (didn't bring car)... It was a blast, definatly in need of some old school audi's though... lots of older VW but not much Audi's . Hope you all have fun and be sure to post some pics!!!
