No worries. We'll figure it out.

Working on it
Display MoreOkay folks. I+1 have put this event together and planning is going well as is local support. Local Support has been unbelievable. Before this event even starts. Some people needed to be thanked for all their efforts and time they freely give.
None of this would be possible without Rabtech. His countless hours managing this forum makes this possible.
Funcycle taught me how to ride a Slingshot and what one would do. (I hate the smell of brakes anyway)
Av8ingtom and V-Shot who treated me like I belonged at my first event when I was a Newbie (my tires still had nipples on em)
EJFord who showed me how to modify my existing work trailer to haul my sling.
Last and certainly not LEAST; MACAWS. Folks Macaws has been and still is my mentor through this entire process. Macaws and I have spoke weekly since March putting this event together. He would never say or admit it but it would be less work on him to host the event at his place. He has been very patient guiding me through this process.
That's the way he is and allot of the people on this forum are. They give so much freely to the Slingshot Community. We all can make more money but none of us can make more time. I hope to give back to the Slingshot community some of what it has given me.
To all you Newbies. Get registered. I was a Newbie a year ago. I was a little nervous about going to my first event 5 hours away where I knew absolutely nobody. My girlfriend said, "these are your people, I don't know these people, I'm just going to sit here and watch Cannonball Run". Now I can't keep her quiet at events.
No more book writing for me on this thread. Wanted to post this for months just been too busy.
I just made a few suggestions based on what we learned at our own events. Tim is a natural with the gift of gab. He has managed to get more local support in his town than I have in several events. He and his better half are two of the most down to earth and giving people you will ever meet. He has a ton of passion with our addiction and I promise you will see it all when you attend..
Thank you my friend
40 Slings.

Ditto here. I'm not Slingless, but there are other factors. I've not committed, but it's not from lack of want or ability. I could say I was coming, book a room, all is good. But is that fair? No... what if I knock out a SS owner that really wants to go.. and then I don't?
I'd register and book if I knew I wasn't gambling.... only to knock out some one that wants to come.... really wants to! I want to, and I understand!
So just so you all know.... I will be holding off a bit longer, but might make the decision to come at the last minute! If I do, figure there will be 41 (or more) there... 'cause unless y'all come at me at once, I don't think there's one of you that can convince me otherwise....
Seriously trying to work out the details on my end!

There is always a spot for you brother - don't you worry, I know people!

Come out and join us. I will have an open seat and you would be the first individual who has been behind the wheel of mine. If you spend the weekend with this 'bunch' it wont take long to 'bite the bullet' or jump ship.
Okay really, someone as far as me who really wants to go, but I’ll just stay here in the oven so someone else can take my spot. I really am jealous of all you but I will sacrifice and stay here, I mean I’ll just say can’t go so there is a spot, no really, I can’t go but let my spot go to someone who wants go ahead and take it. I mean go ahead and let someone take my spot, seriously. I’ll just suffer here in 108 temperatures. So consider the spot open, I mean my spot open. Promise that I won’t come try to get my spot this year, can’t promise about next year, but this year I will not be able to attend. So sorry! Just consider me the sacrificial lamb. I do want to see pics or none of it happened!
JUST SAYIN

Boomer for those of you that don't get to come this year; that is an excuse to come early next year. You are 100% correct on this forum. One of the first things I learned on this forum is it didn't happen unless there are pictures.
Nothing wrong with being a Vegetarian but if I have any coming Friday night please let me know.

No kidding. Come out and join us. If you think you are confused about which Sling to buy now, spend some time with this bunch. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM INCLUDING ME CAN TELL YOU WHY YOU SHOULD BUY ONE JUST LIKE THEIRS.

There will always be a spot for you here. Better make it. If you don't make it, I'm coming up there this fall. We can't keep you away. You already know the way here. You'd just sit a the Velero and wait on us to ride by. Lol! I hope you make it.
