Patrick...Glad Melissa is doing better. There were several people who were close to passing out from the heat (including me)...just like in the desert, it's important to have plenty of water!!! Thanks to Mr. Pat Kapko who kicked down some icy cold water or I would have seriously blacked out. (note for next time: bring an ice chest!). Riverside really isn't that hot all the time. It's just August, ya know? .................................................. ................. John...Glad you had a good time. I was hoping for your first time out the turn-out wouldn't suck and I guessed it worked because there were more people there than we've ever had. Your model rocks! Dave definitely has some talent!........................................... ...............Dave, you definitely have some talent!!! It was way cool finally meeting you and Chaili. I felt like I already knew you guys through our emails, but it was nice to finally put a face to the personalities! John's model was one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life. I didn't want him to put it away because I wanted to keep checking out all that detail! I hope we can all get together again soon, perhaps under less hellishly hot conditions!.....................................Th anks to Kyle LeDuc for providing so much in-air entertainment. He was the hit of the day along with Pat Kapko, Shaun Glessner, Greg, and Dan (of course). I know there were more people jumping out at Chuck's but I didn't see them. Next time there has to be a rule: no jumping until I get there, damn it!.......................Of course, VERY big thanks to Chuck for giving us city folks a place to hang out and have fun! Playing at Strange Acres MAKES the monthly meetings. .................................................. ............................Finally I'm going to just copy and paste a note I made on our website, but I just want to say that I know for the most part it is not the IP Members causing some of the problems we've been having, but I'm writing it here so as many people as possible can read it...........................{note from prerunners.com**[IMG]http://cdn3.race-dezert.com/forum/images/mexico-flag.png[/IMG] [I]ĦAy, caramba![/I]****[IMG]http://cdn3.race-dezert.com/forum/images/mexico-flag.png[/IMG] [I]ĦAy, caramba![/I]** Today we had our August Meeting in Riverside and it was our biggest one yet! There were at least 100 trucks in attendance and the jumping at Chuck Stranges' afterwards was a great show as usual. Thanks to everyone who came out, especially the guys from Mountain Dew who helped cool everyone off with some cold, refreshing new CODE RED flavored Dew! There are a couple of things we need to address. First, please remember Chuck is inviting us to his home out of generosity and goodwill. He likes to see everyone have a good time and we all thank him so much for that. Leaving your trash all over the property is really NOT very cool. Please, don't be leaving cans, bottles, and other trash on the property. Same goes for the trash at Farmer Boys. They allow us to meet there and have always been very cool to us. Lastly, and most importantly, people MUST stop driving fast on the dirt road to Chuck's house (Webster) or anywhere in the neighborhood. If they don't it's going to put an end to the after-meeting fun. It's tempting to get all crazy as soon as you hit the dirt, but it's not worth it if it's going to screw things up for everyone. Please respect what we have worked so hard to make happen and be cool (whether at Chuck's or at Farmer Boys or any other event we put together). Please take the time at the next meeting to get alternate directions to Chuck's (check the IP table) and avoid Webster altogether. I heard someone was arrested leaving Chuck's tonight and their truck was impounded (any info on this would be appreciated...email me!). This wouldn't have happened if the cops hadn't been called for people hauling ass and driving stupid on the roads leading to Chuck's. Thanks in advance for not doing these things next time. For your own good I would also suggest not drinking at the meetings or Chucks...not only is drinking and driving lame but duh if there's cops around you're just setting yourself up for trouble.
P.S. The pictures are up!............................................... ....................Ok Phew, I'm done! Hopefully we'll see everyone at T&J's next Saturday afternoon! Dromo afterwards? Anyone? Anyone?
