Okay before I announce the winners I wanted to take a minute (while I still have your attention) to say THANK YOU to all the Vendors, this turned out amazing and my hat is off to all the vendors, it says alot about EVERYONE of them as they all came looking to me unsolicited (other than BTF, I did ask him for the covers). The fact that from my very simple oil change offer, prompted competing Amsoil dealers to begin emailing and PM'ing me to see what they could offer, really tells me that one person can make a difference.
I also want to say THANK YOU to everyone that entered the raffle, everyone that said they did not need to be in the raffle but wanted to donate anyway.
Thank you for all the emails showing support and the kind words and prayers, it all helps out, I can not say enough how great this has been for me to see my simple oil change turn into a rally from the offroad community.
I also want to say THANK YOU for spreading the word like you have, we have had people from all across the country and on atleast 15 different forums enter the raffle and that just goes to show that we have a great community with ALOT of recirses that really can be used for doing great things.
And a THANK YOU to the Yost family for allowing everyone to help, NO they did not call me ands ask me to help, I contacted them and asked if I could help and so THANK YOU for allowing me to do that and being strong enough to take help when help is offered, I know that can be hard sometimes.
Lastly I would like to thank the academy, my wife for sticking by me, and the directors, and producers....Oh shit wait that is a different speach, sorry about that (LMAO). Seriously THANK YOU to my wife for helping me with the random numbers this morning as she was rushing to get the kids out the door for school.
