[QUOTE="Jeff Gilbert, post: 438984, member: 20280"] I can see the headlines now, [B]"Dirt Week Attendance Rallies that of Sturgess!"[/B] The worlds most popular Dirt Bike related Internet sight began only a few short years ago. Owner Okiewan (later shortened to "Okie") while trying to figure out how to set up a network at the house thought it might be fun to start a web page for motorcycle enthusiasts. Utilizing an extra phone line that was in the spare bedroom when they bought the house he began tinkering with a bulletin board design. After 10 minutes the idea was a reality. At first the only member that would join in the activities was this fella named "Pokie," rumor has it he was blackmailed. After a few weeks of mass emails a few dysfunctional members joined up and Okie's dream came true. Members started joining at an impressive rate yet as with anything that involves a lot of people things started to get out of hand. One of the female members developed a "Tude" and was sent packing to "Kali-fornia." She contacted the local law enforcement out there but it turns out the cop was a dirt bike enthusiast also so it was a lost cause for her. A couple of other "Cowboy" types came and went over the next couple of years but they too were sent packing. To commemorate the 1st anniversary of the web based Dirt Bike site (DRN) Okie and his sidekicks celebrated by having a bar-b-que at a motorcycle park and had so much fun watching the members they decided to do it again the following year. After 2 years in a row and attendance growing it was decided to relocate the 3rd anniversary from Illinois to Oklahoma where it was okay to blow things up in a "bomb fire" and male adults to run around in women's clothing. It seems customary that in order the attend one of these festivities that the newer members must allow themselves to be run over by an outlaw group of members called the "Heartland Spodes." Though it is not mandatory to being run over in order to join DRN, it has become a tradition if you choose to become a full pledged member of the sub group itself. On a side note, the group will feed you well after running over you. Attendance has steadily grown over the past 3 years and it is expected that next years event will top over 20,000 of the foulest smelling, weekend warriors, that the country has ever seen. The only difference between this event and the one that happens in Sturgess is these two wheeled loving enthusiasts don't come a ridin' into town on their steeds, they tow them! :thumb: [/QUOTE]
