[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 634130, member: 16119"] Okay. We're talking a lot about DirtWeek 03 these days, the time is drawing near. I just wanted to fill you all in on a few things you might not be aware of. I want to pat a few folks on the back. As time goes by, I'll be adding more I'm sure. But make no mistake, without all the help, DW would not be what it is. Rambling now in no particular order. 1) My family. They are the ones that keep all the details together, sit in planning meetings and get the gears moving and work their butts off at the event. 2) Pokie. Works the phone like a mad man trying to line-up sponsors to supply stuff that you'll win at DW. Pokie likes to go after the big dawgs in the industry, one of these days he's going to hit a big one. Count on it. 3) Thump. Me Bro. Also works the phone big time. He's got some stuff cookin this year that will blow your mind. I REALLY wish we could tell you what we're working on, but it's SUPER hard to get really solid (early) commitments from the big players. Schedules can change, things can happen and we can end up with a no-show. I can say this much, do not be surprised if one of the highlights this year includes a factory semi, loaded with demo bikes and a factory rider or two. 4) Our Sponsors. It's VERY difficult to get companies signed-on. We're only in our 4th year and it's getting a little easier each year to get more signed-up. There are a few that have been with us from the beginning, those that understood what DW is and were willing to help us out. Check the sponsor list in the DW forum. Service Honda, Eric Gorr, MXTech, Generac and MXSouth (amoung others) have given a LOT back to us all. 5) Members. There are DRN members who are always helping... all year long. I can't even begin to name them all, but safe to say The Heartland Spodes are at the top of that list. There are so many more.... I'll be adding to the list. 6) The DRN Mods. What can I say? The group here now has been here since the beginning of DRN... since 1999 in many cases. The Mods organize rides/races and do a lot most of you will never see. DRN wouldn't be DRN without them. 7) DRN Members that attend. Nobody is foolish enough to believe that DirtWeek is special because of any one thing, any one of us has done... without the incredible people that attend each year, it just wouldn't be what it is. You really need to experience what it's like. In my mind, it's what our sport is all about. There is a lot more to the sport than winning races. Read some of the threads; read what Jeff Gilbert said in the "What is DirtWeek" thread. He NAILED IT. As soon as we can get solid confirmations on who/what/when, we'll let you all know. One thing is for sure, this year is going to ROCK. It's funny; I'm usually the last one to leave DW on Sunday. I sit there and wonder how the heck it could be better next year. Somehow, it always is. I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again :thumb: [/QUOTE]
