Just got back this morning after a 22 hour drive. Overall, I have to say that it was worth the long drive and I will be back next year.
I've learned alot from talking to all of you and really appreciate all the feedback on my buggies. I am still a newbie there but everyone welcomed me
like I was an old friend. I really appreciate all the concerns that you had when I hurt my shoulder. It hurt like hell ( especially when ya'll came
up and pat me on the back) , but I think I just rip something minor causing the swelling. No bones broken. Thank you everyone for rushing over to
help me. Now, just need to heal quick so I can fly at WBB :singing:
If anyone is considering coming next year, I would say DO IT !!! It's all about coming out and having fun.

This NABX for me was the best.....bar none. Between the pre-event and the main event I got 10 straight days of buggying in. Several of those days
were multipole sessions. I enjoyed getting to know old friends from past NABX's better and meeting a ton of new friends that I hope to see again
soon. Then that final banquet, that is something I will never ever forget....truly a great experience. I will be back next year for sure, until then
take care my friends

Yeah.. I was taking pictures of the buggies but you guys keep getting in the way!! 
btw.. I have higher resolution version of these pics if anyone wants a copy. These are shrunk to about 25% of original.

Wow I looked as tired out as I felt! That may be the 1st picture I have ever seen of me out kiting without a smile from ear to ear.
It was a joy to meet you Van.. Your desire to get all the feed back possible and humble nature are instantly comforting. I felt I had known you for
years 5 minutes after meeting!

I've experienced and accomplished alot in the 40 years of my life but my greatest experience and accomplishments seems to be the next time I make a
new friend.

I notice you caught that point that the Dutch boarders got caught in that huge wind burst. Some real exciting moments there !
