I would like to thank everyone that came out on sat and helped move 58 tons of rock for fun??!!! was a great time for me and hope everyone enjoyed themselves... cant wait for the comp and see what everyone can do.. by the way if you travel in two seprate cars and your friends are lost remember that " look for the white house with the red barn" isnt the best advise since there is one every 3 miles in southern WI !!!!!! see you all soon Todd

Billscustomrclighting.com donated some light sets for the comp. These are great (VERY bright) light sets. 1 set is headlights/taillights 1 is 6 headlights (would be great for headlights/rollbars and the other is 4 headlights and 2 tailights.

1 set of lights will go to the winner of scale class... the rest will go to????? (lets just say you might be able to break and still win)

This photo wouldn't look right, there's too much detail etc.

How many have registered so far looking forward to this event see you there

[rockextreme]

not as many as I would have thought?? there are only about 11 pre registered, but I know we had 18 guys at the set up day??? and I know Ive had about 35 PMs letting me know that people are coming?? there is a crap load of spectators emailing for address since I put it on the local radio station/forum Im thinking people may just think its hard to get preregistered????? On another note the looks like we are may acually get the pole shed up so we have a back course area in case of rain..

[jetboat]

Im going to bring up preregistration at the comp today. I know we have at least 10 people that were planning to come and I think only 3-4 registered. I think some people prefer to wait until the day of the comp, just in case they cant make it.

AND ITS NOT GOING TO RAIN!

[jetboat]

Last day to preregister... Save yourself some money and preregister and get a free shirt plus be in a special drawing. Even if you can make it 1 day only or if you think your not comp ready you should try to make it to the spectacle. Lots of prizes etc for registered entrants.
