Dyno Session in The Desert - Vegas Bugorama Weekend!!!

[gblakeney]

You guys have fun today!

I really wanted to put the bus on the big 'ole drum but I am stuck in Dallas for sales meetings 

I'll see you guys Friday night hopefully!

WOW!  Is all I can say!

What an amazing day we had!  THANK YOU to CB Performance and all our sponsors for helping put on our event!  I just got back from Outback Steakhouse and what a great response I got.  I'm sure I'll write up a nice article in the main portion of the site with everything that's transpired in the past 24 hours.  But with all the drama I went through, the fact that the event went off without a hitch made it all worth it.

There's 3 other people I'd really like to thank.  First all of you that took a day off work to participate and spectate.  We had a great turnout considering this event was in its inaugural year and it was on a Thursday.  We've got several sponsors that have already verbally agreed to "re-up" for next year!  Thank you guys.

Next,  I want to thank my good friend Sandra who is a wonderful woman!  She took over the whole coordination of the non-technical side of the event.  (Food, Drinks, and all the rentals)  Without her, the event would not have been as great as it turned out.

Finally, I need to thank my wife.  She also is a teacher and took the day off to listen to noise, cook food, get sunburnt, wind burnt, harassed by some of the Supra guys, etc.  But before today, she supported me all the way through this first German-Pride event.  THANK YOU CHRISTINE!

I'm going to post some photos in the gallery, and I'll post some detail updates tomorrow.

THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

WOW!

Those are some numbers alright. We had a "crisis" at work wednesday night so I pretty much slept through the whole event. Sucks.

I guess i'll probably limp it out to the track later today to catch the drags and maybe walk the vendor yard a bit.

Scott, still have any shirts around? I'd like to pick up a couple if you still have some.

He's got some - I'm sure he'll be glad to hook you up.

That was the first shirt of the show I bought - really cool one!

Hey, I just wanted to see if anyone here has any photos from the Dyno Session that they'd be willing to share?  I was so busy running around, that I didn't get as much video and photo coverage as I would have liked.  If you do, please post them HERE  Just click on "POST PICS" on the bottom of that page.

Thanks!  Also, if you have any videos you'd like to share with me, please email them to admin@german-pride.com

I really appreciate the help!
