Thank you so much for sending your AWESOME realistic Big Rigs and Charlie's Hummer. The attention to detail on Bobcat is unbelievable!!

I hardly got any pictures. I was running all over the place and staging all the cars and rigs. The volunteers started packing up and it didn't make sense to unbox things. I got you a couple of yours, and I got a shot of the High School winners on the podiums and that was it.

Yes it is a TON of work! Just wish that we had more entries and attendees.

Congratulations on your awards and wins!

Thanks Eagle,
Charlie, Becky, and I did get to see some videos of his hummer and the rigs run.
Thanks for the kind words on the Bobcat Truck Build as well.. that scratch build took awhile to do with all the detail work I put in to it.
One of my favorite rigs you have built has the DVJ logo on the side.

why is it one of my fav's.. because you just don't see many Father and Daughters.. rigs built like this one is .

Hope to see some new photos posted on your web site soon.. love the design logo on the hoodies and T-shirt as well .
And don't give up hope.. maybe there will be more racers next year!
