[QUOTE="nikki, post: 454379, member: 18126"] Hey Sharla - it was a pleasure meeting you for sure - nice to put a face with a name after so long. Next time maybe you'll have to show me the way through the woods. Well... I started writing a detailed DW02 write up yesterday at work... and it quickly became 2,000 words and the was just from Friday to Saturday morning. And I wanted Ivan to keep his status of having the longest DW report (almost 3,000 words) so I tried to go the summary route last night and my laptop froze. So... what do they say - 3rd time is a charm? I'll give it one more shot... [u]Nikki and Red's DW02 highlights:[/u] *Meeting/hanging out with so many cool people - the people really made the event. It's truly a DRN family... *Red lining up on the gate with Dr. D, Coop, Billy, and Brownie (and being able to say he beat Coop in moto 2) *Jack and Dianne's frito pie thingy *The cool looking track when we pulled in being the MINI track and the main track being even cooler *Hanging out with my favorite online friend - Julius Pleazer *Finding out Dr. D actually seen me in an article in Cycle USA *Red going like 40 mph down 80th Ave. cuz we were excited to get to DW *Finding the "big step-up" that everyone spoke of and actually watching Red jump it a bunch on Friday *Riding JP's 250F - YEEHAW!! *Red's smile when he got his A class plaque *Gomer's [i]Dirtweek or Bust[/i] presentation and the standing ovation and deafening applause *The generousity of all the DW02 sponsors and the hard work of everyone who helped put this event together *Being a small tabletop for Solo in Billy and Brownie's cornering class *Group photo - kinda like Prom but way cooler *Getting personal riding tips from Dubach (including the applause Red got on his practice start after stalling in the first one because he was nervous) *Seeing my first armadillos *Elk's kitty litter creativity *Finally meeting Pro Clean's Buddy Walton in person *Watching the bikes with lights fly down the straights and through the corners and roll the jumps *Using Dave's cool tie wire tool *Billy and Doug teaching the kids MX school just cuz they are two great guys *Women's MX race - awesome to see so many girls line the gate and what a battle that Blackhawk and I had... if you weren't there - you really missed a show! *Red getting excited about riding/racing all over again and getting a new hero - Billy *Finally meeting Walt and Eric and the Westergard family (all locals).
