Joe - thanks for all the pics from this session, as well as the others this year. Very much appreciated to see the work that is happening, and constantly in awe of what some of the folks accomplish out there.

I cannot say enough about the quality workmanship that is going into the rebuilds, (especially the trucks). That big ass piece of metal has SO MUCH work and care into its creation, it will outlive all of us. Roy and Wayne worked on that truck for DAYS, just measuring, laying out the parts, welding and grinding for 6 to 8 hours a day for days! Roy said they went through a 50# box of rod in just one day!
