INSANE!!!!! Sorry I missed the flight! Rocking good time no doubt.

WOW!

GREAT JOB EVERYONE! Go Bravo Team!



Jeremy & Blake congrats! You guys were an excellent team!

Doood! Justin, I don't know how I missed you on the sand course. :yikes:







I had a great time, and would have loved to stay longer. But I needed rest from our prior trip. It was great to see old friends, and meet new people and put names to faces.






A big thanks to Scott, Stehpanie, Chris, Brian, Chuck, Pasquale, Kristina, Jonathan, Roseann, Wil, Wendy, Paul, & Mario (even though you couldn't come). This event has truly grown. I know you all put a great amount of time, energy, and yourselves into this event. Thanks for dreaming, and sharing your dream...:victory:

Welcome back guys and gals...looking forward to the pictures and stories!

Wow!


Congrats to the winner!!! I can't wait for the pictures and stories!

I just wanted to thank Scott, and everyone else who helped make this happen, it was an outstanding trip, much more than I expected. Also, without the great group of people who attended it would not have been half the trip it was, even with the token "rednecks"!!!:jumping:

Awesome trip. :costumed-smiley-007 Great seeing my old friends and meeting new ones, everyone I met was way cool. That is the great thing about this site, the members are great.

I'll get my images up on my site in the next few days. To anyone wanting the full sized image, I can email them or send you a CD. The sand course was fun to watch and photograph. :arabia:

I can't put into words how much fun I had. The entire weekend was a total adrenaline rush! It was a pleasure meeting a lot of new people and seeing old friends as well.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Scott and everybody involved in planning and executing the event. Outstanding job!

I too had an absolute blast! What a great event made even better by a great crew!

I still get a chuckle about those guys in the Geo Tracker gawking at Jeff's Vitara!
