Pistons Wild held our First Offroad Cruise In on Oct 12, 2008. IT was a Great Success ! First, On behalf of our group.. A Big Thank You to all who attended.
We put this event together in less than a month. Woody's stepped up pretty big and no only donated the parking lot,, but door prizes,, And Lunch for All participants and guests as well.
We had a great day.. The RTI Ramp was busy all day. Kids games went off well, and the adult trike race was a kick. Some serious competition in all the above. For me? I loved the Wiz Off.
The wiz off was a secret contest that had participants and spectators wondering what exactly we were talking about. We had a full line of volunteers who ( without knowing what they were about to do ) participated in this event. We then set up buckets and cones.. ( to further confuse and scare the participants ) and Passed out the cans of Cheeze Wiz.
Participants were asked to eat the entire contents of the can as fast as they could ( without barfing...). What Fun!
The purpose of the event was to raise money and awareness for the proposed Trail System in The Yacolt Burn.
When all was said and done,, We now have $1200 for the work the system will need. THANKS TO ALL !! We hope to make the Yacolt Burn into something similar to Browns Camp. We are hoping to start on the system in the spring of 2009. Soon !!
Everyone feel free to post your comments and photos of the event here. and Yes.. We plan to do the event again this year.

And here is the post I wrote on poorboyoffroad.com following the event.
" Took me a few days to recoup from a late saturday and a long sunday. but,, here it goes..
On behalf of the Pistons Wild Motorsports Club,,, A BIG THANK YOU !!
Those of you who attended already know that this was a successful event.
We had a perfect size turnout. Everyone's attendance was greatly appreciated. We hope you had as good of a time as a participant as we did as the host club.
There are so many highlights to the day that I will not be able to type it all here..
One i heard of, but didn't see,, a 5 yr old boy in the little truck race.. he picked up a yellow hummer.. Crystal of PWM commented to the boy "oh,, you got the hummer ! " he emediately dropped the hummer and went back to the box of trucks and picked a ford. very funny.
Another highlight was Buzzer of PoorboyOffroad.com. He won the wizz off. ( a cheese wizz eating contest ) after winning,, he was still trying to suck more cheese wiz out of the can as he held up his trophy... and after getting the trophy he popped the lid off the can on the trophy and was disappointed that the trophy can was empty.. I heard he is changing his screen name on poorboy from Buzzer to Wizzer..
We also had a very financially successful day. Raised a good amount of money that can be used for renting equipment,, buying supplies,, and other trail making and maintaining costs. The final count is not official but I think profit of a thousand should be close.. there was a lot of stuff that was donated,,, even the trophies.. so if we had to buy everything it would not have been as great as it was.. Too many people to thank for all the donated prizes, time,, lunch,,, people,,,, my friends,,,,,, we had overwhelming support.. THANKS !!! And Woody's 4x4.. THANK YOU THANK YOU.
DNR was impressed and Jessica of the DNR seemed to have a great time.
We have put the cruise in on our list of next years activities and plan to do a repeat.. will be hard to beat this one..
As I was the DJ , I did not take any pictures.. (too busy keeping up with everything going on that day) Please feel free to post up your pictures of the cruise in.
I will keep you all posted of Pistons Wild events and Yacolt Burn Trail updates as they come..
Gonna have to get to work and get my engine swap done... I wanna drive again. See you all soon.
