GLRE's Time Attack was a great place to be able to push your Raptor in the environment that it is made for. Great jumps, high speeds and Great friends. It rained in the early evening on Saturday so we moved the raffle under the B&L Motorsports tent.

It also rained Sunday morning and where where caught off guard and it destroyed one of our computers. We had to relocate/regroup and manually input times.

In the end it turned out great!

Congrats to the winners in Limited and Sportsman:

Big Blue, PWStruebig, Tvibe, Sitdown, Wiz, 2004Boss, MnBillly, MustangRaptorKid

Thank you Jason, Mark and Heather for another incredible event! In typical GLRE fashion, you guys performed flawlessly. Everything was great and this was an Event to be repeated for sure! I have a feeling the turnout next year is going to be much higher.

Thank you to the Chicago Crew for another great trip. You guys are family to me. An Extra Shout out to my Chicago crew members Jordan and Tom for the 2nd and 4th place win. You guys are badass, expecially when you consider we all warmed up for the race by airing our trucks out at Silver Lake for a few hours before hand!

Thank you to my good friend Tim for being strong when things go bad.

Thank you to Keith M. for taking all those awesome vids and pics.

Thank you to the 1-96 Speedway for a great track, support, food and top notch staff.

Thank you to all the great sponsors who provided so many awesome items for the Raffle.

Thank you to Birdman, Roger, Jimmy, Jason, Ted, and Keith P. for giving me such great competition on the track. You guys are great drivers!! I know I will have my work cut out for me when I go up against you guys next time.

It was great to meet another batch of new folks, I hope to see you at future events.

and a Final thank you to the most badass "Stock Suspension" Raptor on this Forum...Big Blue...You never cease to amaze me with what you can do!!

Did you get to total up how much was raised for the Charity?

It was a great event even with the weather. When you can have a storm like that and still have things run fairly smooth it shows how much effort was being put in by everyone to keep things going. Can't wait to make it up for another one. Just be sure someone else wins the raptor liner..:everything:
