I would just like to thank Mr. Mcduner, Mr. Sampler, all of the EPO competitors, all of the support people who made this race possible, and the academy. That was TOO much fun.
When I first heard of the race in the dunes on a closed course, I thought they were nuts! (Or

). The track had every type of obstacle imaginable (could use a stadium whoop section next time). Everything was safe, and challenging, at the same time...wish I could say the same for some of the tracks I normally race on!
Everything went off without a hitch. Major props to the planners, designers, and shirt makers!
#7 through #1 I salute you

You've given me something to train for next season.
#9 through #28 (and #36) Your work is cut out for ya...ther's nowhere to go but up! I applaud your efforts.
Slappy, I thank you for one of the funnest experiences I ever had in the dunes (The other ones aren't G rated). I am honored to have been chosen.
To everyone else, whenever you see the verbena bloom out there, remember it's a badge of pride for us verbena dash competitors....tread lightly.
