Many people came up to Denise and I all week, and Thanked us for how great this year's STAR was and said they loved the area. Thank you also goes to all the people that helped put this event together, especially Harry and Dianne for all the great guidance they provided.
For those that were not able to attend this year, you missed a great STAR.
If you attended, you will be receiving a questionnaire about this year's STAR. Please answer the questionnaire and provide comments where appropriate. Comments will help to improve next year's STAR.

The routes looked pretty good online, I hope to ride some of those in the future.

Total registered = 290
First Time STAR = 49
Saaaaweet, especially the First time number. Congratulations to the event crew! :clap:
I've seen some photos here (https://msta.smugmug.com/STARPhotos/STAR-2018/), but I've yet to see the group photo and I assume that will be posted there too at some point? I saw a photo of the photographer on a ladder so I know there must be a group photo.
Sorry if I seem kinda needy. ::)

Jim and Diane Park are still on the road back from STAR. He and Bryan Dunlop shared the photographer duties, but Jim actually takes care of the archives. Sooner or later there will be a group photo posted, and it’s also sure to be in the STAReview recap of STAR issue due this fall. But it may still be some time before its all done.

The group photo in particular takes some post processing as I add the event logo, text and edit to make everyone look good! ;)
Be patient it will be coming in the weeks to come.
Also watch for Nicky’s October STAReview which usually features STAR with lots of articles and pics! -JEP-

I attended the HSTA STAR in June 1990. It was fun but many of us spent a whole lot of time in the pool or the Rio Frio!

Yep the guys are correct. We are on the road post STAR and plan on getting home mid to late July. I then jump onto the photo editing, then burn CD’s and print the group photos for those that ordered them and get those mailed out as my top priority. After that’s complete I start my uploads to our photo site for all to see!

Great! ..as long as you are on the road having a good time, I can wait! :D
(especially since I'm not in it. :( )
Marty, curious about the COG National. Lots of good reviews on the COG forum but was wondering what the attendance was.

I like to say "They stayed away in droves.", I'm not happy about it but that's what I like to say. The heat scared most off I suspect. However, I think it might have been cooler in Kerrville than it was last year in Missouri. I believe we had under 150, I think 137 were preregistered and we had more walk-ins than usual but I don't think we went over 150. Next year in Pennsylvania I wouldn't be surprised if they break 400 maybe even approach 500 like we had in 2014. At least next year COG has a chance of getting MSTA's tire folks (Mr. NoMar & Sue) and some double attendees since for the fist time since

Some STAR photos have been posted in the MSTA SmugMug, including my versions of the group shots.

Now we can enjoy the photos that you have posted and when Jim gets home we will get a second helping of great photos. We can relive every moment of STAR.

It was a pleasure to sit with Carl and Denise during the banquet and hear some more about the planning and the area, as well as some great racing stories from Carl's many years of being involved in SCCA and other groups.

Thank you to everyone that attended and especially all the people that helped with STAR 2018!!
