Brock,

It sure was great to spend time together. Lots of fun, laughs and just a little bit of snowmobile talk :beers;

Thanks again for the hospitality.

Guys the charity sled is very very nice. Almost too nice to raffle away. We owe Brock lots of thanks and appreciation.

Brock,
Any chance that the sled will be at the Honda East Show? [Sept.14th] Tickets? I've been out of the loop, what's the official charity? :usa:

Hey Tom, Yea the sled is offically out of my hands. I will bet it would have done well at the show though. I think by friday it will be at the Hall of fame.Matt Gabler is supposed to pick it up from Joe Wanie and take it up for us, Last i heard anyway. The sled turned out pretty good i think , It sold a fair amount of tickets at the JD 50th. Brock

The Hall of Fame is trying to make arrangements to have the sled brought to A1 where I'll be selling tickets for it.

How many tickets were sold this past weekend at its first event, the JD Reunion. When I was there on Saturday they thought already around $1400 worth. Even at that number what a great first weekend.

Yes, I will pick it up from Joe tomorrow and it will be safely delivered to the HOF tomorrow night.
