…specifically, Bradley from eCirkit, who somehow got omitted (read: I forgot) from Team Polizei’s last round of thanks for all the support given 9 & Ash on the 2007 Players Run.

Because you asked, or at least you asked Des @ GT Spirit. Despite the naysayers, Team Polizei’s Jon9 vouches for her, and she did far far better than Caitlin Upton. Be nice. (Keep it up, Ash - but be nice. I heard what you did at the 2007 Players Run Finish Line Party in LA.)
…then you can afford to be generous. The Rady Children’s Hospital was the penultimate checkpoint on the 2007 Players Run, and, as Team Polizei’s Jon "9" Goodrich pointed out in his event wrap-up, several participants really pulled out the stops. Kudos to Rob Rill & Team Darkcyde.
So before you buy those new rims, make a contribution to your karmic balance sheet.
Kudos to Marcus from Players Run for making this part of the event. Every such event shoud.
Ashley, 9 and Dustin from Mischief.tv, and whose haircut requires an explanation…
Multiple final updates from Des @ GT Spirit (check out his frequently updated photo gallery and forums), the Players Run Official Blog, After Dark 360, and Team Polizei’s very own Piloten Jon Goodrich, vacationing with Ashley Van Dyke on this year’s Players Run, who ends his wrap-up with a very personal thanks to those who helped him. Before the jump, I’d like to thank Marcus - organizer of the Players Run, Carbon McCoy from eCirkit, and Bret Haller from The Unlimited Class, who were kind enough to invite Team Polizei and took such good care of my old friend 9…

Jon9 with an update from the 2007 Players Run:
After arriving first to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway yesterday, we
went to the Wynn, checked in and returned to the Speedway for the
Mario Andretti Indy Experience. Was truly unique in that we got to
drive a real indy car at speed on a perfectly banked NASCAR oval.
Ashley pushed her instructor to almost 150 MPH in the six laps she
turned and we both agreed that it was an experience we would not
soon forget.

…so new no posts for at least 24 hours. Not even the adventures of 9 & Ash vacationing on the Players Run. Sorry. Check out GT Spirit in the meantime.
Know about Ecirkit? The’re 9 & Ash’s generous sponsors. Show some love.
Multiple updates from both Des @ GT Spirit (check out his frequently updated photo gallery and forums) and Team Polizei’s very own Piloten Jon Goodrich, vacationing with Ashley Van Dyke on this year’s Players Run:
We left the Monaco Hotel in Salt Lake City at 0930hr Mountain Time with a police escort out of town. Not 5 minutes after we left the escort, Ashley got pulled for no aparent reason. The cop was friendly enough, asked us a few questions and then let us go, but not before every SINGLE car in the rally passed us waving and honking. Back on the road after a 15 minute delay, we knew we had our work cut out for us. A few miles down the road we saw Jonathan Katz in the LP640 pulled as well. Apparently he got the same friendly warning we did. With Friday metro traffic, there was not much to be done and we did not see a single rally car for miles. We feared the worst, last posiiton.
Ashley got us out of town and picked up the pace, but we still did not see any other cars. We phoned a few friends and found out that miracolously we had passed a number of cars who apparently pulled off together for fuel. A few other guys stopped for lunch, vacation style.
We chose the Polizei lunch method, gas stop, taco bell and out in less than 4 minutes. I took the wheel outside of Cedar City, UT at 12:24 PM Mountain Time according to the gas reciept and began my chicken burrito in the left hand Aston assault. It was a fast, beautiful ride down I-15 South, with little police and lots of scenery. We arrived at the Andretti Racing school at 2:20 Mountain Time, 1:20 Pacific in P1.
We have checked into the Wynn, showered and are returning to the track to turn some laps at 4PM.
Ashley has yet to accept my vegas marriage proposal, but we have not had any drinks yet and the chapel is open 24 hours. I checked.

From Team Polizei’s very own Piloten Jon Goodrich vacationing on this year’s Players Run:
1158hr Mountain Time - from unknown location somewhere south of Big Sky, Montana
Left the hotel in last place with a few alleged friends. Stopped for gas and thet kept going! Filled up and passed 20 cars on a 1 lane…slr lambos bentley/etc
(Alex - Bad Jon! BAD JON! You’re supposed to be on vacation. That’s not going to impress Ashley. Use your verbal skills. Last is first. Remember Sun Tzu. Also, passing on a one lane is very irresponsible, and I’m not being cute. I hope it wasn’t over a solid white line. I won’t tell eCirkit if you don’t. Please drive safely and deliver Ashley to San Diego in one peice. I tried calling for details, but your phone coverage has obviously been spotty today…)
