I have some pics and a video clip, and Pointblanks better half video taped the races as well, maybe I can get a copy of that video and do some highlights!

I got some pics and some video.  Haven't had a chance to go through it all that well, as we just rolled back into Calgary last night at 10:30.  Driving through the Shushwap in Duff's doublecab in +39*C was brutal (the silly gentleman in me gave up my spot in Concept 1's Eurovan so that Duff's pregnant wife could sit in air conditioned comfort).

It was awesome to see the Mighty 45's rolling hard, although I didn't get to see any of the good wipeouts.  And how come the guy with the fattest head had the smallest helmet?  hmmmmm?

The only thing that sucked about the show was that the Saskatchewan guys' car got broken into and someone stole their stereo, digicam (with all the show pics!) and their DVKK shirts (WTF?!?!?!?!!!) while they were have dinner at Mr. Mike's after the show.  :angry:

See y'all next year!

Hi Gang!
I took photos of the Mighty 45 races. But I have not been able to post anything yet. The Samba won't let me log in. I need another place to post.

Hold on for a bit more! I will post some pics.

Here's a quick, crappy 15 sec video for those who missed the race.  Sorry it's not exciting, but whatever.   :lol:
