Meeting new people and getting together again with old friends is always the best part of Spyderfest. It goes without saying that Len, MoGang and the crew are beyond awesome. I didn't know how they pulled off the 1st Spyderfest and that was a cakewalk compared to the monster event it has grown into.
I have to say that NCSpyderRT is a true gamer. We've had others ask to ride with Lamont and I and some don't last to the 1st fuel stop, some stick it out for awhile and then throw in the towel, and some go the distance in style.
I remember 2 Wing Trikes that we met in New York state (I think) coming back from Canada. They were talking about how much more comfortable the Wings must be compared to the Spyder and wondered how far/fast we could run before we had to give up. They were sure we couldn't stay with them on their Wings. They weren't talking smack, they were just looking at things from their perspective. When we got ready to leave they asked if they could run with us for a few fuel stops. Lamont said, 'Sure!' They dropped out at about 120 miles and we never saw them again. We weren't riding any different than we always do. But I've always wondered if they thought we were trying to bury them on purpose.
Anyway, I could tell that Dan was wondering what he'd gotten himself into after 3 or 4 fuel stops and I wondered if he was going to hang. But he did and I was impressed. Tough way to start his Spyder experience but Dan is a keeper for sure!
The Drag Races were a BLAST! It was worth the trip just to see Yazz with her game face on! She can be one serious girl when she wants to be!
Always wanted to run on a real drag strip, never done it before and I had a great time.
Overall, even the weather couldn't take the fun out of Spyderfest. Len and the gang continued to think on their feet and out gamed the weather. Moving the Secret Pie Run to the hotel was a great move (among many others).
What do I think? I think we should do it again!

This was my fourth Spyderfest, and like what was already said, they just keep getting better. Already looking forward to 2014. Again, THANKS to Len, Vanessa, and the MoGang, and all the others the were involved in this great event.
We had a great time at the drags (wish now, I'd ran mine) and meeting old and new friends at the motels, Pitbull Powersports, and the Vendor Village. Thanks again !!!

I can't wait for next year!
(Note: Hopefully one of these events: Spyderfest or KofC's TN State Convention, will end up moving at some point... in the meantime, I will do what I did this year... stay as long as I can in Spyderfest and then head back to TN until a) As I said one of the event's date changes or b) I have done my years as an KofC officer and step down as a State Delegate. I am planning to go to ALL Spyderfests possible!).

If i tried to name them all, i know i would forget someone so i will just say thank you to all the folks that were there and tell you we enjoyed your company.
Len, Vanessa, Lamont, Harvey and the MoGang we appreciate all the help, advice, service and friendship we received from all of you.
Lets do it again. Attached is a photo of the SAFETY meetings at the hotel

This was our first. Sure, we got upset with the weather. But there's only one who controls it. Kris had a great time with the GOS and meeting more of those ladies face to face. Will we do it again? Yes. 2014? Don't know yet.

Selfishly, Erick, I kind of hope it works out this way again next year. I sure had a blast rooming with Leira after you had to leave for your Knights of Columbus meeting. Although your GOS secretarial skills were missed!
