All,

As I posted earlier, I am doing coverage of this year's event for VJMC Magazine through pictures and a writeup. This being the 20th year, would like someone to contact me that can go over the history of the event. This is only my 3rd year attending, so need someone to share information I can include in the writeup. Looking to include 1500 words on the story and history should be a big portion of that writeup. If you have been to all (or at least MOST of the meets) and would not mind providing the history, please get ahold of me at Michael.keith.long1@gmail.com. Thank you.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone. Just want to get the history as accurate as possible. As for pictures from past/early events, will have to see if I can make them work. See everyone there! Safe travels!

I have a few videos of some of the pyrotechnic shows that we put on especially those of Nick (from Vintage smoke) riding his two stroke ninja going up wheelie hill with roman candles shooting out the back. :wtf:
Those were the days... :lol:
Safe travels,

Charlie

By the way, pyrotechnics are now history, right? I promised resort management .
