Might wanna put something about this in the Where to Ride section. There is a couple of topics there about BadLuck and the closure. People may have not seen this thread yet.

The list is building. At this rate:

Lets see: hummmmm

25 sigs in 1.5 hours.

Do the math.....

We could have 500 sigs by end of day tomorrow easily

Let do it. This is a great start. We will decide where to send once we are complete and the sigs have slowed some.

Ok guys, looks like we are at 210 sigs. WOW. 200 sigs a day and we are set. I would like to put together a commitee in which we can take this data, along with other letters and possibly some pics of our families enjoying the area (just an idea) and hammer these guys from all angles. 1fast: I know you are in. Possibly Grizz would be good as wel. You seem to be highly regarded and respectable. So let me know what you guys think. I have about 3 or 4 guys for ATVMIAXTREME that are ready. I figure if we have enough people sending request we will get more accomplished. WE WILL DO THIS!

WE ARE AT 414!!! That is great. Once we hit 600 I will start the mail outs. You have figure there are some repeats and of course dumb asses that did not do it properly. So I will probably have to delete like 50-100.
