WHAT A FUCKIN' WEEKEND!
Ok boys and girls, I have just been scanning all the posts and going through all the emails I have received and I just want to say a big thank you to everybody that made the effort to come along and have a good time, but even more so, the ASF guys who helped out all weekend. If it wasn't for them there would have been no AFR.
I wanted to thank everyone on Sunday night but I could hardly walk let alone talk and most had left by then anyway, we didn't even get to do the customary awards!
I wish I could thank all of you individually but I know there were people helping out in areas I didn't even get to see! A seriously MASSIVE thanks goes to all those poor buggers that worked the gate as it was away from the main event - you know who you are Rod, Pab, Jacktar, both Marks, Clive, Jim, Wurzel, Sharky, you guys seemed to be in there every day! Then there's the merchandise stand, again, Rod, Paul, Jacktar, Pete, Kaye, Mel, Phill, fuck I could go on all night! I can't thank you enough!
Then there was the bar boys - Shaun, Nick, Huddo, Clint - both nights, all night!
Then there was the 3 bands that we're bloody great and played the entire night for beer only!
Out on the track - Jeremy, Shaun, Nick, Boh, Ben, Greg, Large, Mike, Morry, Jason, Issues, Jerry's wife, Sharky, Wronger, Ian again the list goes on.
Clint again for sorting the timing lights pick up and also driving 2.5 hours to drop them off again!!!
Terry for doing all the local ground work, signs, and ride outs.
Bike craft for driving fuckin' miles, nearly loosing 4 bikes off the back of a broken trailer that almost lost a wheel, covering everything they owned in deisel fumes, then nearly loosing a finger etc etc.
Sammo, Pesh, Boxer and endless stunt guys and gals that I didn't even get chance to meet or know their names that rode the runway black all weekend - You guys fuckin rock!
If I have missed you off this list you know it's not because I meant to it's because I'm still fried, but just know it meant loads to me and makes all the time I put into this forum and other stuff worthwhile, I'm not wasting it on a bunch of dickheads, I'm proud to make such a good bunch of blokes happy!
I will endeavour to get a video montage and write up happening ASAP.
