Disney, OK: more info on OAG

The last event put on was on New Years Day, and was a big success. Pros Kenny Blume in the unlimited class and Bill Bailey in the Legends class showed up and put on a show. Turn out at the event is expected to be very high by both spectator and competitor alike. Especially with the added stock class to give the small DD a chance to compete for glory and a chance to be in the spotlite. This comp is well worth the drive no matter where your coming from. Its going to be a blast. For a few pics from New Years Day GO HERE

This should be a fun event. Its not just rock crawling, we will have trail rides and more.

We are adding an XXL class for the big rigs with full widths on 44's and bigger to run in. This should even out the classes.

We need volunteers for judging, course, setup, gofering, vending, signup, crowd control, and cleanup.
If you are interested in helping please reply here, e-mail tolly@tollyservices.com , or call me 918-706-1477 so we can put your name down.
Please only reply if your are serious about volunteering, this means working most of the day Saturday and some on Friday.

We will be having a volunteer meeting at my house on Monday night 4/11/05 to go over assignments and training.

National magazines and will on site taking pics, you might get in one and this is a great chance to get a front row seat on the action

Thanks,
Tolly MototorSports

It was a great weekend, with an excellent turnout, and some good competition. I hope everyone enjoyed the event, and Howie had a good birthday party. Thanks to all who came to watch, compete, and party.
I will post the comp scores tonight (gotta work today).
I want to thank all the volunteers for the hard work and dedication to helping make the event a success. These events could not work if it wasn't for volunteers. It is a grueling long day that beats you up, I know.

I also want to thank the event sponsors for their support, which helped make the event even more of a success.
