Most Memorable Moments by Event

Figured I'd start this up to bring back some great memories.

These are My Most Memorable Moments by Event. I'm sure this will bring a bunch of cool posts, maybe even some pics to go with them:

3-Man Ladder
Run-off between Central Islip & North Bellmore in Central Islip, 2002. Both ran a 6.10 I believe, right? Then CI ran a 6.04 and the Dinks ran a 6.08. I remember the crowd going nuts DURING the runs.

B Ladder
The Nassau Drill in Oceanside in 2002. The termites smoked a 4.98, then Manhasset came down and beat that with a 4.95. Manhasset went on to tie the "C" ladder record that day by running an 8.63.

C Ladder
August 19th, 1995 at the State in Clayton. North Lindenhurst broke the state record by running an 8.70. Coincidently, they broke their own record of 8.79 ran in Oceanside the previous week.

C Hose
The Hempstead Yellow Hornets ran a 12.58 at the 1997 States in Hempstead. Kevin Candido ran nozzle for most of the year in "B" and "C" hose. Hempstead racked up 19 points in the first 4 events, but North Lindy came from behind and took the Cup.

B Hose
Sorry Guys, gotta go with this one. State drill, Main Transit in 2000. Islip Terrace came down and SMOKED a 7.57. Roslyn came down a few teams later and beat that with a 7.55, allowing them to finish 5th place overall for the day.

Efficiency
West Sayville in the State Drill, Merrick in 2001. The Dutchmen ran an 8.52, just shy of breaking the record by .01. They clinched the 2001 State with that run.

Motor Pump
New Hyde Park in Lindenhurst, gotta be "Dom's Slide". They cranked a 5.54 and broke the state record. The Termites went on to win that drill with 26 points, also running an 8.68 in "C" ladder. The record at the time was 8.63.

Buckets
North Lindenhurst in the 1997 State Drill had 17 points going into buckets, just 2 points behind the Hornets. The Knockers were the second to last team to run for the day, and they cranked out a 20.55, giving them 5 points and winning the 1997 State Drill.

Gotta be because it's a weekend I hope......Be cool to hear some cool stories or memories from some of the old (older) timers.

What about some tournaments where the times in some events were so good that shots which would normally take five points end up taking one or none?

[cbiscuit]

That would be a good thread too!

The 2001 State at Merrick: 5th place 3 man: 643; B ladder 498, 502, 505, 509, 511 (how many times does a team run a 515 and not place?); b hose 777 fifth place; efficiency 889 fifth place; buckets 2192 fifth place...one of the best tournaments i have seen in terms of overall times.

hey saturday, it was the 2002 Hagerman Jr Drill...and the 2nd climber ran a 2.98 breaking the record first, then the 3rd climber followed up with a 2.95 breaking the 2nd climbers record...and Bay Shore went on the win the tournament that day by a point...make sure you have everything right before you post it.

[satrdaysrforracing]

First it happened at c.i. with a 3.00 and a 3.01 and then it happened at hagerman got to nysdrillteams.com and look in archives

[R.Miller]

the record was already 3.00 held by Islip...so therefor the 3.00 run by Central Islip only tied the record then was broken by the same two climbers at Hagerman and it stands today at 2.95. I was the captain of that team dude, I know what happend.

[satrdaysrforracing]

ok but it was still pretty crazy when two runners on the same team run that close of times that was the point i was trying to make sorry if i was a little bit off

[Junior874747]

I was at both of those junior drills, coaching for Roslyn at the time. They were great runs.

Junior, good post. I agree w/you about the three man memory. But don't forget Riverhead 1994. Hornets and Dutchmen tied for first w/6.21's. In the run off, Hornets ran a 6.10 and the Dutchmen ran a 5.97. As we all know, a record can't be broken during a runoff.

B-Ladder: I agree w/ a previous post about the 2001 state tournament, I've actually said that before in the topic from a few years ago titled "things that made you say wow". (It's actually still on the site on page 29 or something like that. This site must have a lot of room.) Back to b-ladder: Riverhead 1998 was also a great day. 4.82/4.99/5.00/5.03/5.20. Pretty damn good times for top 5 in an invite where you didn't have all teams statewide participating.

I remember that drill in Riverhead Twan........That was a great day.

At the RVC Old-Fashioned Invite 2002, the Freeport Nighthawks ran a 7.97 in two into one. They were on the verge all year of breaking that record.

After the NH's ran The Woodlanders were on the line needing a "RUN". I think we were down one point to Freeport Engine.
Well we ran and put up a 7.90 with one of my worst nozzle hits (and I had a few). A few people had water past the plate @ 7.50.
It broke the NH's heart.
