just got home, and the first thing I do is hit buggy news.

i want to thank everyone who attended this years meet for contributing to a fabulous and memorial weekend. It was great to see some old faces and meet some new buggiers.The trails were in good shape, the drags were a blast and the company was the best! It was shocking and pleasantly surprising to see how much some of the younger children have grown in the last year. There were enough mini buggies running around this year to start their own buggy club! Everyone has tons of pics and I'm sure they will be posting over the next few days. I will post mine as soon as I recoup, purge the dust out of my system, get to unpacking the trailer and finding my camera.
Again THANKS!! everyone for the meet!!!!

It was great to see you Charlie. Glad you made it again.

Charlie,

You did a great job with the drag racing!

It was great seeing the mini-buggies as well as the BIG buggies racing!

I think next year we should plan a team scavenger hunt next year!

It would make for some fun riding- we could even use GPS coordinates and hide some battons on the trails and do a relay of sorts!

Good to see you again charlie. Would of been nice to see van(team913) again.....takes a good man to stay home with his elderly parents and miss the buggybash!
Hey did I win any of those drag races just kidding.
mully

Yes Mully you did win a run! I can't remember who you ran against but I do remember you got them by a buggy length.
next time we gotta start timing those runs and form some sort of elimination process. There were alot of fast buggys and close finishes. I enjoyed the minibuggy kids the most! There were even atv people with their kids gettin in on the fun! I remember one little girl on a tiny atv with pink tires makin some smokin runs

Thank you for the kind words Mully. I missed seeing everybody this year and when I talked to Charlie on the phone I asked if you were there and how your buggy was running this year compared to last year. He said it is running great and you have put alot of work into it, and it looks good too!
Mom and Dad really appreciated that I stayed home with them instead of going to the bash. Their health has declined more since last year at Paddys, most especially Mom. I did send the Team913 buggy with Charlie to let you all know I was there in spirit. I have not seen it yet since Charlie got back home. Its still iin the trailer. I'm almost afraid to look
Van

Van-

We sure missed seeing you there. I certainly understand your perdicament however. Didn't Charlie tell you that your buggy fell off a cliff into the river? Oops.

John

Was that the one that went in the river? I wasn't for sure who's it was!

WOW! 21hrs of driving!
Had a Blast and worth every mile!!
Just got home late last night and got a chance to go thru the 2 GB of pics and vids I took this morning. Here is the group photo.
I will post more but have a TON of stuff waiting for me in the shop but will get it done soon, promise.
It was great seeing everyone and putting faces to the names.
I didn't win any drag races but had an absolute blast losing!
Next year........
A great group of people who I hope to see again next year.
I also got video of the quad/Blade 70 wreck!
Really glad the kids didn't get hurt. The kart took a beating and the drunk guy on the quad is probably taking a couple days off work!
