A BIG THANK YOU !!!

[BILLY.B]

I would to personally thank everyone that came to the V-DRIVE BASH. Rick & Jeannie who own the marina could not believe what a great bunch of people we had assembled. When I pulled out yesterday I looked around to make sure that there was no trash left anywhere and was amazed how clean everybody had left there site , THANK YOU !!. I would also like to thank everyone who helped out with the BAND , PPG PAINTS, PRIME MARINE, BUCKS UP RACING, N.A.D.A APPRAISAL GUIDES, ALLENS FASTNERS, DENNIS EVANS, TOM FARNER & BARRY BLACK . The long distance award(Greg & Stephanie Clark)from New York & hard luck award(Paul Curry) were donated by Quik Shade(Jay Losi) and thank you for those 10x10's , Paul will really be able to use his when he puts together his new ride. There was a very big effort put in by my wife Janice who goes nuts with every new thing I come up with to make each year a little better , so a BIG THANK YOU for all you do. Kimbo, thanks for putting the donation can out for Paul Curry, great idea and I'm sure he can use every penny, plus your help on trying to speed up the BB-QUE line by helping to serve the food. One person who worked extremely hard behind the scenes was Mr. Greg Ewing(ACEPPTENCE), he had some great ideas to make it a little more fun , and also got Paul's boat back on the trailer with all of his salvage equipment, it was all good "CHIEF" , THANKS !!!. Hope to see you all next year :D

Ian, I was also amazed at all the heavy duty boats. Alot of people came up to me and said the same thing. Quote of the week was, LOOK AT ALL THIS MONEY sitting around here, and the best part was nobody gives any attitudes like they think there BITICHIN.

[Dragboat Dad]

Billy, Tracy and I also had a great time. It was fun camping next to you and being in the middle of the action. The dinner was fantastic and the band made it even better. Looking forward to next year!

It was all good Mr. B. Saw some extreme hardware, sweet passes and met some super people. So good to get the old girl out for a few days. Thanks for the launch on Friday and to Janice for locating an extra dinner ticket. Looking forward to next year!

Man the more pics I see, the better it gets...Billy "You sure make a tough act to follow".. Hope you spread the word about CFW to all those HP Junkies...We would sure like to see some of those rides up this way for sure....The competition will be Fierce.....

[63stevens]

I think a " BIG THANK YOU" would be more appropriate than you thanking us. We had a GREAT time and talked all the way home about next years event. Already making plans! Thanks you so very much!

[slowpoke]

Thank you Billy and everyone else that made this
event such a great time. Can't wait to do it
again. Hope Paul is not too sore. Great to meet
everyone.

[ACCEPTENCE]

Hey Billy!!! No, No big guy, you got it all wrong...
The BIG THANK YOU goes to you and your wonderful wife. This event just gets better every year and without you two together, it wouldn't happen. You guys pulled together an event to remember. From the planning stages to handeling everything at the event, you gave up your vacation time to make sure everybody else was taken care of. From organizing the entire event, planning the BBQ, hookin up the band, doing the event shirts, to setting everybody up and giving your time to introduce new faces to your great group of old friends. You both did a fantastic job pulling this together and providing everybody in attendance a good time!!!!!!!
So...a ""BIG THANK YOU!!!"" to you BILLY & JANICE :D :D :D

[Ratacole]

Billy, thanks sooooooooooooooo much for everything. I have never met a better bunch of people. You were right when I talked to you on the phone, me & my brother had a blast!!!In fact he is now looking for a new ride :) Up till now, I only saw boats like the ones on display this weeekend in pictures. It was great to see all of the outstanding pictures come to life!!! Thanks Again, Mike

[BILLY.B]

I think this event gets better with everybody's effort. I had several calls today about how friendly everyone was and how helpful people were, that goes along way in making lasting relationships. So the thank you's go to all of you that make the trip a successful one.

Thanks for the great BASH. It was my first one and I will never miss another. Incredible Hardware and the most friendly, inviting people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
Cheers,

Yeah, Thanks Billy for the killer time. Even with no boat I still had lots of fun.
I met more people from here then I can even begin to name. It was great to put some of the names to faces.
I'ed like to thank the Gofastracers for the campsite and the breakfast.

[Sangerboy]

And an excellent time was had by all...... Already Xing out my schedule for more time off next year. Thanks Billy for the effort to put this thing together and thanks to the behind the scenes helpers. How can we not have a great time when surrounded by bitchen machinery and other folks who just plain love V-drives :D

Was Dave mooching rides???

RaysonKid:
Was Dave mooching rides???
:cool: Nope, as soon as I walked up to the beach I saw that guy crash his flat. I told myself right then that I'll stay out of them unless I'm driving.

[RaysonKid]

Ouch, That would make you think twice.
How is your boat coming along?
Like seeing all the parts you are making.

Dave, come out to Red Rock, you will be safe in mine, unfortunately we would only be running at Pro Stock speeds, I'm sure Billy would be kind enough to spot us one lap!.. :) :D

[V-DRIVE VIDEO]

Pro-Stock speeds can mean as much as 131mph!! The current kilo speed record was set by Danny Lovelace in a Barron Sprint powered by a pontiac drag car engine. So Art, how fast are you gonna be going??? :D :D
