Thanks to all... I would have been one busy guy if you guys wouldn't have made it. I had no idea that we would be so busy (especially the first lap!). I've got some pics to... although not that many, but I'll get them oaded up in the next day or so.... Good times - How was that rain coming back through the Gorge? There must have been 4-5" of rain on 84. I was making good time till then.

Gees I was down to 35 MPH behind a semi. The water was coming off the top of the truck about 5" deep' and the freeway looked like a river. Great time at the races. I was so busy I forgot to take Pic's. Lots of good stories to tell. I am definately IN for the next round. Maby by then I will have the jeep working better. Thank's jon for the invite.

Awesome day for racing. I was sorry to see those Canadians break so fast. And I was not trying to rub at Amaerican flag in their face. They wanted the tow. Lots of fun.
That rain really sucked. I couldn't beleive how much rain was coming down. Had to be the worst rain storm I have ever been in. And Brandon drove the Ford home. What a great way to learn to drive. I think he was doing better then me in the Jeep. It only weighs about 9000 lbs. Lucky for me that I had a snorkel. I think it came in handy.

Hey guys! This is Greg(in the red zuki) I think I can say for all involved that you guys did a GREAT job out there. Scott and Debbi had nothing but good things to say about you at the awards ceremony. I was listening to your CB channel most of the day and were very impressed at the organization and attention to detail. I am sorry I only met Jon and Bill formally, but you are all are welcome over on our club site www.midvalleycrawlers.com and I am sure on www.nwprerunners.com also. We should hook up sometime for a TSF run.

OK.... I've got to much to do to give this a proper write up, so just take my word ;D It was awesome. Heres some pics... UTV's from Saturday It was a long day.... We bring so much goodness to events like this that it brings out not one but two rainbows! The mobile base station is down there somewhere. Think of it as a wheres waldo. Can you find ScrambledBills casa away from casa? Canadians came in force! To bad many didn't finish. Good folks though eh? This is a good indication of how muddy it got on Saturday. Can you see the UTV in this picture? Our neighbors truck - They gave it a heck of a good showing.... but I dont think they finished. [glow=red,2,300]Sunday Sunday Sunday![/glow] staged and ready for the huntLook! Its a bunch of M&M's! Finally a few videos I chopped together. I need a real camera. Thanks again for everyone who came. I couldn't have done this without you. Well.... I could have, but I'd still be there! I dont have many pictures from Sunday because of how busy we where but hopefully someone got some action shots. I'm trying to see if someone got any footage of the rollover that kicked it all of. For the record, even though the vast majority of the field did not finish.... NO ONE was hurt and the only thing that suffered any damage was a few folks ego and pride. I did notice a couple times drivers stopping to check on other drivers. Good times helping out good people! Also, check out Greg (AKA Donkeyworx) shots on the NW Prerunners link I posted above. Theres a reason he is a profesional... and a reason I am not ;D Seriously, the guy has a knack for catching the good shots. Check em out! Lastly, from what David posted over on NWPrerunners we got a huge round of aplause at the awards meeting on Sunday night. "Everyone appreciated how organized and affective you were. I would love to have you guys do it again next year if you are interested." I didn't want to committ without the clubs blessing (and I dont think they know dates yet anyway), but I did tell David that if the schedules align we would probably be able to make it. But only if they can ensure no rain ;D

Thanks but I am by no means a professional. The Donkeyworx thing is my hobby.
