Message: [QUOTE="shiftless, post: 169659, member: 20020"] Thanks to all who attended DW01 and your many kind remarks. The truth of the matter is that Okie and the moderators could go to great lengths (and they do) to make Dirtweek the best possible event for the members, but it is the PEOPLE who attend who make it what it is. Old guy (in another DW post) alluded to the "atmosphere" at Dirtweek. It is indeed very difficult to convey the feeling in words. The people who come have a real passion for the sport, but this "atmosphere" is created by the generosity, caring and willingness to help each other out, to share whatever they have, be it material things, food, their time, whatever. People who come from all over the country, driving many, many hours and willing to do whatever it takes to get there. Then to find upon their arrival, an instant warmth and a feeling of belonging. I believe I can speak for the entire Okie clan in stating that we all feel so very privileged to be a part of this, to be able to spend time with all of you and to know that you all feel that way too. One more thing, how wonderful it is to see riders encouraging and rooting for each other, no matter the skill level, whether an A, B,C rider or one who has just taken up the sport. Thanks again to all of you for making Dirtweek so much fun. We are so blessed to be associated with such a fine bunch of people Come on DW02!! Joy:) [/QUOTE]
