Default Indy 2011

Well I made it back home safely from the show. I hope that all did the same. I had a great time seeing old friends and putting faces with the names, and meeting new ones. I would like to thank those for making the show possible, Ric from PMD for sponsoring the space and all the guys for setting up and allowing us to play! Thanks again and I'm already looking forward to next year.

Brian

It was a real good time for sure. I believe I only got a total of 6 hours sleep but I know Izzy and Travis had less. Big thanks to Izzy and Scott for helping my troubleshoot the hydraulic issues with my loader. We ripped into it and had it running within an hour of me arriving to the show!

As this was my first time out, it was great to put faces and names with forum members. I'll definitely always clear my schedule to attend.

(Currently working on editing the video footage I shot.)

I also made it home safely, of course i was only 15 minites away. I to want to thank everybody involved in setting up and running the show. I enjoyed meeting everybody and I left the show with more projects ( both physical and mental ) then I came with.

I would like to echo everyone's thanks to everyone who made the show possible. I was only able to stay for a couple hours but it was great to meet everyone and see some amazing trucks. I took photos - will post them in the next day or two to share with everyone. I would also like to thank John, Rod, and Brian for the help with how to build my truck - great ideas were shared with me and I learned a lot. Thanks again everyone!

Click here for the photos I took - over 100 so it may take some time to load all the thumbnails on slower connections.

A huge thank you to all the guys who setup and tore down the show... Thanks for Ric for sponsoring another great Indy show.

I want to extend another THANK YOU to Izzy, Travis, John, Nathan, and all that other guys who put in the hours ensuring our thousands of dollars of equipment was safe over nite. I hand it to you guys for the extra effort, I really appreciate it.

Great show guys - we have been asking and planing and talking about getting back into the ball room - I can't ask anyone to do what we did by staying up. Your thoughts and excitement get so riled up that you literally go till you drop - not healthy.

Glad the show was fun - bummer we needed tompull the bridge - but we wanted the new dirt machines to get the exposure they deserved as well - I know it was missed.

I love that jackknife flip - if anyone wants proof - it wasn't staged. Glad you had a good time - great pics!
