I posted this in the general forum but just wanted to make sure that is went in our personal forum as well 
Well, the Still of the Night FiberwerX 200 is officially in the DRIVE history books. It was our first night race and I think all things considered, we did a pretty awesome job! All of the members of the DRIVE Volunteer Team had to really step up their game to endure a whole night (8:00 PM – 3:00AM) keeping the course managed and safe.
I want to thank each and every one of the DRIVE Volunteer Team for taking on this challenge. Without all of us volunteering our time and efforts there would be no DRIVE off road racing. Amy and I understand the commitment it takes to come out and volunteer for a race in Plaster City (we are volunteers too). It’s extremely tough and I hope we did a good job showing you how much we appreciate everything that each team member does.
You guys ROCK!
I would like to express a HUGE “thank you” to 1450.ORG. Thank you first for choosing to include DRIVE in your racing schedule. That means a lot for a group like ours that is trying to get started in desert racing. Secondly, an even bigger thanks for including us in your pre-race BBQ.
Your party was great and inviting all of the DRIVE Volunteer Team to be a part it is just one more reason that you guys are a class act. The reason many of us volunteer for these races is that we love off road racing and want to support it, but can’t afford to race. Hanging out with you guys and having the opportunity to check out all the 1450 trucks at the party was awesome! It gave us a chance to listen to you guys and check out the truck up close. Thanks to Cameron and all the 1450 racers.
Also…
Thank you so much to all of the individuals and companies that made not only the Night Race possible, but the Desert Clean-Up that we did before this race.
Terry, thank you very much for the light towers. The amount of light these things put out added an increased level of safety to the checkpoints and road crossings. It was tough getting all the equipment out on the race course, but I’m glad that we made it happen because the end result was worth it. Thanks again!
Alicia, Thanks for everything that you do to help us out. Your family is awesome and really represents what is so great about the off road racing community. Thank you for the cool glow-in-the-dark DRIVE Volunteer shirts and glow in the dark water bottles. Most of the volunteers didn’t see the glowing part of the shirts and water bottles until the very end of the race when Amy and I went around to pick up the light towers. When the light towers went out everyone finally saw themselves glowing! Very cool.
John Cole of Elite Auto and Alicia of Beardesigns teamed up again to put together some really cool stuff for all the volunteers. John has been supporting DRIVE from the beginning and It great to see him out at the races in the Bronco (although this time he was out in his son’s rig). Thank you for believing in what we are trying to accomplish John.
Joe and Joseph, Thank you for not only helping us as volunteers by pulling people out and acting as the eyes and ears of DRIVE Main through the night, but also with the equipment that helped us run the race! It’s pretty cool to see companies offer material support and then top it off by actually coming to the race and spending their own weekend getting dusty as volunteers!!! Thanks to Clairemont Equipment Rental and Off Road Warehouse. You guys are incredible.
Cameron Sinohui and all 1450.ORG, Thank you for making our race such a great event. I can’t say enough about your organization and the people that race with you. I don’t know all your names, but I met most of you during your pre-race BBQ. You guys are a great asset to desert racing and you brought a vibe to the Night Race that embodies what we are trying to achieve at each race. Good friends and family sharing in the fun!
Here is my (and Amy’s) photo account of the night race:
The Day before the race (our home made sign!)
Contingency w/ Jeff and his wife Shannon. They were out there all day in the heat helping racers get through contingency and tech. Thanks guys!
Amy and Kelly were great representatives of DRIVE and helped racers with registration. They always do a great job and love having the opportunity to meet everyone pre-race.
Ryan was THE MAN! This guy can do just about anything. Thanks for helping solve all the last minute DRIVE emergencies!
1450.ORG BBQ. A great night! Thanks again to all the 1450 racers that let us be a part of your schindig.
Cameron cooking the carne asada!!!
A great night spent with great people
1450 B-day cake!!!!
It was EVERYBODIES Birthday…. Even if it wasn’t ☺ Here’s all the people brave enough to stand in front of us as we sang a horrible rendition of happy b-day. Thanks for being such good sports!
More great BBQ moments….
1450.ORG finished the night with an impromptu desert work out. Everyone do push-ups! Well, everyone that lost a bet anyway ☺
Volunteer photos and a account of the race are coming….
Thanks again!
