Molten Motorsports- Thank you for providing charity rides, everyone had a blast!






Oh btw 109 days until the Snoball.

Wow, where to begin!

First off, I'd like to thank the FRF and Ford Raptor community that supports the GLRE! From the great email blasts, the insanely large event threads to the facebook banter... every little bit helps give each of our events it's own unique character and without the reach of the forum I don't think our events would be the at the level they are today. Thank you!

Brad & Dylan of Icon Vehicle Dynamics. While Icon puts up some great giveaways and raffle items to the event participants there is a lot of behind the scenes input and participation that the general public doesn't see. These guys are top notch and I truly appreciate everything you guys did for the event.

Chris Kelley of Freedom Motorsports. You are without a doubt one of the few genuinely good people out there, but we need to have a hook handy when you're talking to the masses! lol Seriously though, you brought that down home Southern hospitality and goodness to HITH. Thank you!

Jimmy Degrado of WSI. It's always awesome having you around and I wish that it was more than just a couple times a year that we could hang out. You & Alex upped the game when it came to the Raffle prizes and installing for the lucky winner was icing on the cake! Top Notch isn't high enough praise in my opinion, but I don't know what else to say because you absolutely are.

Clayton Park of Bar's Products. Thank you for the help with the banquet and the great gift bags! Sponsor or not, I hope to see you & your dad back out for many our of events to come!

KC HiLites! two words.... Night Run!! While I didn't get to witness a lot of it from a spectator standpoint since I was eating dust all night at the finish I can say the whole raffle ticket per lap to snag a set of lights was an awesome concept! Thank you!

Dave Venti & the entire Krazy House Customs Crew. The T-shirts and raffle prizes were great, but in truth they really pale in comparison to what you guys did at the event. For those who don't know or weren't there, the KHC booth became the unofficial service and repair station of the event and as far as I know they weren't charging for their services. It's actions like this that truly define the comradery of these event and the Raptor community and in my opinion this more than the trucks & trails are what our events are about!

Roger of RSi, for the good eats!! Word spread throughout the park and even the regular wheelers and crawlers came over for your food! Oh and I can't foget about the ride back to the hotel after the banquet thank you!

Alex from Whelen for the Casino & Wal Mart antics! Good times!

Kyle Buchter & Bernie Gardula from Rausch Creek. You guys are the best, I can't begin to describe to everyone how far above & beyond you guys went to make the park ready for our little get together. I can't even begin to descibe my appreciation and can't wait to work with you guys again.

Tim Diekmann/Andy Burns of Molten Motorsports & Josh Blyler of Big B Motorsports. Thank you for donating your time & rigs for the sake of charity! Not only did you help us raise money for charity you gave people a grin that they'll have a hard time getting rid of for weeks! You guys are welcome at any of our events!!

To the various people that handed me food, bottled water, drinks, etc. while I was running around like a mad man! Thanks for keeping me upright and functional!!

To our support drivers for the event Fred Macconi & Joe/Nicole Kubany. Thank you for all of the time put in scouting, marking, remarking, helping wherever help was needed! And to the Kubany's thanks for the hospitality after the event!

to Bird for the emails, calls, registration/raffle beers and the kind words during the banquet. Thumbs up!

Mike Rubin... Your comment still made my weekend bro!

Kevin & Dustin... you guys are just not right!

Jeff... You shocked the crap out of us when you won the 50/50. Thank you and I hope you can make it to the SnoBall!

To all of the participants, seeing everyone telling war stories about their laps and the smiles on their faces even when presented with battle wounds made this event and all of the time put in out at RCORP worth it.

Dan06 - Thanks for the "Mason Jar" Good stuff!

I can't help feel like I'm forgetting a lot of people and if I am I'm sorry!

Lastly, Jason & Heather. Thank you for all that you do! I know putting up with my mad hatter vision for this event hasn't been easy and in some cases quite trying. You guys are simply the best and I hold you two in the absolute highest regards. I always feel you guys have my back and I hope that this little madness we created continues to grow. On to the next one!!!

-Mark

Thanks guys for a carnage filled fun weekend. Despite the damages, it was a good time. The night run was probably the best of the weekend.

Yes, thanks for all the effort you guys put into setting up and running this thing!

And thanks to KHC for helping me with my broken toy...

I think Jason and Mark should get a lot of credit, this was EXTREMELY well organized and professionally run. It will be hard for other runs to live up to what GLRE has achieved with this last effort.

I know I expresses this to Mark a couple of times, but I am not sure it can be said enough. Mark and Jason did a wonderful job putting this together. I would like to thank them. Also I would like to thank the others who helped and the supporting vendors for this event.

One Word Sums it up...

Can't forget Heather either when thanking organizers. Thanks to all the organizers and sponsors. As Luke said it was fun despite the carnage. When I closed my eyes last night I had images of bouncing over rocky trails running through my mind. Was an interesting change of pace. Fewer rocks would have hurt less but glad I did it anyway.
As for saying the Raptor can't go high speed over rocks... it can in fact it smoothes stuff out. Only time I couldn't do that were the washed out sections with huge rocks. Those I slowed down for lol.

Dawson and Roger for going out of their way to help with some installer related issues dave & khc, brad dylan & icon for yet again lots of awesome donations, wsi/whelan, and Tim Diekman for the ride of all rides,. Many more on that list of sponsors, supporters, friends and new friends... thank you all

I want to throw out a thank you to the guys that helped when my muffler got ripped off. I was surprised to find my tools back in their places in the roll when I cleaned up today.

Not sure who you all were but thanks for being stand up people.
