The race ended two hours ago...yet there are still two very, very drunk men in my garage.

That is outstanding. Congrats to a bunch of really tough MFers; including you, Beth!

I don't think I have laughed or talked that much in a 24 hour period! What a great event! The Strickland's have to be one of the most amazing families I know for allowing this to take place at their home.

I need a new liver.

Thanks to Beth and everyone involved with this excellent event! I had an excellent time, with good riding and great company!

Here is the FLICKR link to my FSX-24 Pics - ENJOY! I certainly did...

PS: Yarnall, I found your old liver near the "urinal tree"...
