Racing Extreme held their 2nd Annual Grass Drags and Swap meet over the weekend at the Golf Farm here is Wacaunda, IL. I have to be honest, I was a little skeptical about the turn out because the event had been postponed twice. We all really lucked out, it was a beautiful day and eveything went off with out a hitch.
There was a nice swap spread by about 9.30 am. The vendor section was a little thin this year, but that just gave the vendors that were there more attention! BK was set up on the corner right behind the food and beer. It was a very high traffic area. Myself, Pete and Cody were out hitting the grass spreading the word about BK. I snagged a deal right away out in the swap, so that made for a nice start to the day.
There were a TON of BK logo's out there this weekend. We sold about 25 ditch banger shirts and handed out a couple hundred stickers. I was able to talk to a lot of people about parts and really did some quality relationship building. It was great to see all of our friends and customers out there wearing thier "I Bang Ditches" shirts. It was also cool to see a bk logo on the back of someone I DIDN'T know.
The highlight of the drags had to be Thunderstorm (previously Bob Barta 's) in the 1000 class. It is a polaris storm body with a 1000cc thundercat motor. This was the first race for the new owner and he underestimated the power of the sled. The sled was VERTICAL off the line. The buzz in the crowd was "it should have done a back flip." It was that close...there was NO reason that sled didn't fall back on the rider. It was an awesome sight to see.
I think we are really going to have a huge turn out for our own swap meet (Dec 6th). There was a lot of people stopping by the booth to confirm that it was still going on.
