IRI is an awesome competition.
That said, by the end of the LOOOOONG day Friday, most people are dragging a little bit, and everyone is getting a little tired.
These mentor matches had the entire event excited.
The field border was PACKED with people who came to watch such great driver/operator combos as Dan Green with Raul Olivera and Paul Copioli with Mike Copioli. (okay, so maybe "great" isn't the best word choice
).
I think this excitement was great. Along with the talent show, it was one more reason IRI was exciting from beggining to end. I still haven't recovered!
Kudos to the IRI planning committee for doing this.
It was definitely a positive thing.
Thanks,
John
