By far the best event ever for me. Thanks again Fred for putting this all together. The food was GREAT,
If my xb wasn't broken in yet, it is for sure now!
I'm sure Dylan won't be on these boards so tell him thanks a ton for all the great pics.
If there is any digital video from any of the cars on our victory lap I would love to see it.
Next time I will be much more camera happy, I promise.
Dennis' box that glowing.
Pics from Dales(Ferris) camera phone
Getting ready for the next midnight races!

Somehow the Parade Lap turned into a Victory Lap real Fast. I think Tachus (kathren) had a leg cramp in her right foot on Westnedge and may have scared the crap out of Ferris
. Love the area Dylon took us too, i have never been on that road before. I'll add that area to the next Poker Run for sure. My kid and I had so much Fun, we couldn't stop 
for a few minutes while we were lining up for photos.We can Thank Paul for the Great Food, he came by on friday and prepared all the meats with Very High Quality Marinades. I was Very Happy to see him Win the Hold Em Game.
My son Fred filmed some of the Victory Lap, but the film is a little bouncey for some reason.
The Box is Broke in for sure, good thing she's a Toyota and can take it.
Again Thanks to everyone for making Kalamazo's First Poker Run a Blast.
Spread the Word so we can have twice or three times as many Scions this Fall, for our next Event. POKER RUN 2006 in Da Zoo 2, Caravan of Colors. This 2 or 3 day Event will be Headquartered at a Nice Hotel and we will run Caravan Style .
