Treypal's TRR #1 Report and thoughts

I had my screen name on my truck...why didnt everyone else?

I hope mine was clear also.

I have said before, I will say it again! Awesome job my friend. Sean and I were expecting to Pitch in and work the event, but you did such a terrific job, I just couldn't find any place we wouldn't just be in the way.

We will print up badges for the next for you since we have the equipment, and keep doing the web registration if you would like that help. I forgot how much fun events were because we are usually the ones running around getting everything setup and watching the clock to keep on schedule. I really want to thank you for finally going to an event that was actually a vacation for me!

I didn't need to put my screen name on my truck, it's my license plate! But it didnt get to see any action this go around. Next time it will be ready!

Btw- wiring harness burnt out my o2 sensor, but both are replaced, and truck is running great!! Also, tailgate will be fixed in the next couple days- wasn't as bad as we thought!! Yay!

I second most little tweaks other guys mentioned with one addition- tell PCI to make up vinyl stickers for the next run. It was a bugger to get off my window! LOL

One more addition-

The Shelby events we distribute an excel spreadsheet with everyone's name, email, vehicle color and a cell number, and what city/state they are coming from. (mainly to coordinate convoys from general areas.)

Now that most of us going to this event know each other, it might be cool to have. We can have a checkbox on registration page to check if you want to share in the list.

Good Idea Dubbs.

Great Job Trey.

It was the most fun I have had in a long time. On the way home we were saying to each other how much we cant wait for next year.

It was a real pleasure getting to meet everybody out there. Carl was amazing, Chris was hillarious and Matt is the ranch's own version of Larry the Cable guy.

You put on a hell of an event brotha. Next time it will be even bigger and more fun, I have no doubt about it.

Why is this only once a year?

 

[Hocker52]

I read some where it may be bi-annual

Why is this only once a year?

Think of it like the the Raptor Super Bowl. Once a year and worth the wait...

I know for us it would be tough to make it 2 times a year.

Couldn't agree more with everything posted...

Truly an amazing lot! From all the staff to the nuckleheads driving the Raptors... Can't wait for next time! My only regret is not sitting down to chat and meet more people! Maybe 30hrs of no sleep with a 14hr drive in the mix isn't the best thing to do when you plan on staying up late... Next time... Next time...

I would also like to thank PhyGuy for not only being an awesome neighbor but for also letting me give his freshly installed StageIII a whirl... I was extremely impressed with my limited but spirited time behind the wheel. Good bye bed/teeth rattling slam!

I will also say Matt's 2Stroke Margaritas were stellar but they had a lot to compete with that brisket...
