DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The Arizona contingent managed to keep their bikes sunnyside up today at the Championship Cup Series Race of Champions – through race officials couldn’t manage the same with their timing equipment.
Technological failures within race administration marred an otherwise exciting day of racing. Though we cannot officially convey the winners of the 14 races contested today, we can say that Grand Canyon racers claimed three podium finishes – or not.
Ray Thibodeaux won the amateur Unlimited SuperBike race, finishing third in the amateur GTO, while Dave Stone finished third in a thrilling expert GTO contest, as the Arizona contingent claimed about seven Top 10 finishes today at Daytona International Speedway.

Krewe of Helios-AZ Begs Governor to Preside over Parade
As the Krewe of Helios-Arizona celebrates its momentous FIFTH Annual Mardi Gras Parade and Party, we decided to enhance the parade this year by creating the title of GRAND MARSHAL (it works for the Rose Parade – why not us?) So after searching long and hard, we settled upon one name that truly embodies the grandeur of the FIFTH ANNUAL PARADE: THE HONORABLE JANET NAPOLITANO, GOVERNOR OF THE GREAT STATE OF ARIZONA!
You can read our formal invitation below – as well as our PERSUASIVE top 10 reasons she should be the Grand Marshal of Our Fifth Annual Parade. You can also help the cause by sending her an email to beg her to attend:

Queen Catherine Leatham and her king Dagger Dave invite you to attend the fifth annual Krewe of Helios-Arizona Mardi Gras Parade and Party – the only official Mardi Gras parade in the Grand Canyon State!
Come eat our gumbo, drink our beer, catch our beads and raise a glass to the Pelican State as we celebrate Louisiana culture and try to purge ourselves of those six harrowing words that no Cajun, coon-ass or ‘Yat ever wants to hear again: BROWNIE, YOU’VE DONE A HECKUVA JOB!
Come witness the pageantry of our fourth annual parade as it makes several historic laps around the North 74th Place cul de sac – you’re sure to catch tons of beads as I guarantee our parade is slower than a FEMA ice truck. And no, we don’t earn our beads by removing our clothing – this is Scottsdale, not Babe’s Cabaret, people (oh wait, that is Scottsdale!) You are, however, welcome to ENTER your float in our fabulous parade, competing for valuable prizes (OK, a cool Mardi Gras pimp-hat) as you attempt to unseat defending parade champions, Chris and Kristi Walsh, and their 2005 entry: Mardi Paws.
If you’d like to enter the parade, be at the house at 4:30 PM to load your float with beads and to receive your official KREWE OF HELIOS-ARIZONA 2006 T-SHIRT.
Step off for the parade is 5 PM sharp!
If you’re not there at 5, I guarantee you’ll miss it, because (as if we have to remind you) WE DON’T HAVE THE NECESSARY PERMITS TO HAVE A PARADE. Thus, we’re going to make our historic loops around the cul de sac until we run out of beads, and then retreat inside faster than Brownie headed for half-price margaritas at Happy Hour!
See you Saturday, February 25, 2006!
Laissez les bon temps roulez!
Patrick and Stacy Bertinelli
Krewe of Helios-Arizona Captains
