Best moments of the 2013 CMRA Awards Banquet
It will always be hard to top “Ty’s 2005 Overall Championship Speech”, but we had some great moments this year and here are a couple.
#1 – Rich Hogge and Greg Wanless accepting the “We’re #2 award”. As the speech started, I was about to pull my phone up and check the results to see if something had changed! I do not believe alcohol had any role in this at all though.
#2 – Never seen Ty Speechless after having a few drinks. Seriously, the speech for the Hall of Fame award was the shortest I have ever seen from him. Danny Dominguez did a great job on the intro and captured a lot of things about his career.
#3 – Danny’s Overall Award. This was Danny’s 2nd #1 plate. In 2006 when Danny started his first season…to remember hearing him say, “I don’t know how I will ever get the bike to go that fast…” (after watching Ty each weekend) to this year, meant a lot to me…and like Ty, I was speechless after getting the watch from Danny (and Kayla).
#4 – Jim Whitten missing from the awards podium – I can’t verify that Jim received an award or not…he was listed up there from what I remember, but most of the crowd somehow seemed distracted by one of the girl’s taking pictures. Jim, you are going to have to post the photos up…to confirm you went up there.
It was a great time, and I am glad the CMRA, Shandra, and the club chose to do this.
