"Thank you Ricky B and Crawl Mag for your support, it was really a pleasure getting to hang out with you and having at least one dry day at MMORV park to beat the crap out of our rigs with you. CRAWL ROCKS!. . . . .GEORGIA ROCK RODS!!!"

We would also like to thank all of our sponsors that helped make this ride such a success and all of the folks that came out to show their support for the Wounded Warrior Project and honor all of those who have given up so much for us and our families.

We are very grateful to Kris and Randy Morris.  They let us come in and host this event at their park and then announced that they would be contributing all of the money from the gate and park fees to the WWP as well. This attributed to over 4000.00 dollars of the grand total and was a surprise to us all. I thought that it was enough that they let us use their awesome kickass park for such an event, but then to announce that all was going to the cause was really upstanding of them both and we can't thank them enough. "Thanks guys, if there is anything that we can ever do for you all, please let us know. We truly can't thank you enough. MORRIS MOUNTAIN ROCKS!"

It was truly a pleasure getting to meet some really great people that helped out with this event and actually went out of their way to get a hold of us and help promote and sponsor this ride for no other reason than to help out the WWP. One of which was Jamie Carr from SON of a Jeep out of Panama City, Florida. Jamie is a really great guy that helped us by getting some really big sponsors and came all the way up to show his support. " Thank you for your service to my country and it was great getting to know you and the rest of your crew from s.o.a.j. I look forward to wheelin with you again and I'll bring the Sailor Jerry next time."

Another man that really stepped up was Ken Mercer from Mercer Motorsports. He showed up with a lot of goodies and put on a real show for everyone. I saw someone who does competitive racing come out and let his hair down and really enjoy himself for a weekend. This is really what this event is all about for all of us, just the grass roots of what makes rock crawling or rock racing our passion and absolutely the best sport in the world. "Thanks for your support and it was a real pleasure getting to see you tear ass up the trails and show us what 600+ horses can do when it's strapped to the back of a sweet little pint size racer. Ken, I hope that you'll leave Memorial Day open next year and come rock out with us again."

Grayson is one of the only people that has been helping me since before we ever even announced  that we were hosting the ride. He offered tons of advise and I remember him telling me in the beginning just how much hard work and effort it was going to take to put together an event with all the things we were wanting to put on our schedule. He helped me along the way with planning, advertising and working his butt off at the event as well. Grayson if there was ever to be a Florida chapter of Rock Rodders you'd be my first pick. I appreciate all of your help and hard work. I look forward to wheeling with you again. I owe you a bottle of my home brewed "apple pie". Next time I'll make up a batch. Thanks for your help and you'll always be a friend of the Georgia Rock Rods.

Jason and his wife Melissa provided the great Mud Flappin BBQ. They came out ready to cook as well as Roger and his wife Theresa who were also the folks that made us all of the trophies that we presented in the name of the WWP and the GRR. They are very close and dear friends to us, and without their help this event wouldn't have been near the success that it was. "Thank y'all and I can't wait until the next time I get to try and roll Roger in my rig."

I would also like to thank Andy Mace who is the gentleman that provided us with the video coverage of the competition and the event. Andy will be selling the videos online and he will also be donating 5.00 per video sold to the Wounded Warrior Project. I have provided a direct link to Andy Mace Productions at the top of this page. "Andy, I really appreciate what you were able to do for us and I heard that you were really working your butt off up there at the comp. with all the different angles on the rigs. Thank you for all of your hard work, we cant wait to start buying some of your videos."

Tom Hanson of Hanson Photography also covered our event and is selling photos of your rigs in action. Tom is a close friend of ours as well and he can do just about anything you want with your photos. He and his wife also do t-shirts, vinyl lettering/pictures and embroidery work. If you or your club is interested in any custom memorabilia check out his link at the top of the page and drop him an e-mail.

"Something that I really love most about this event was the friendships that were made and the awareness that was raised. We all met some really great people from the very start of this event all the way through till the very last day when we were packing up to leave. I found a lot of strength and inspiration in one lady and her family that really helped drive me to make this event as good as it could be. They will always be dear to us and close to our hearts for what they have done and are doing for those that have given up so much for us and our families. I feel very honored to know Amy, her dad Ren,and their family. Thank you so very much and know that this is just the beginning for the GRR's. We will be doing this event next year and every year as long as we are able and it will keep getting larger and larger, bigger and better to help raise awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project. Thank you and your family for helping us, I can't wait to see you all again."

I want each and everyone of you to know that we are leaving our sponsors page up to help promote all of those who have done so much for the wounded soldiers who are able to come back home to their friends and families. I would ask that you please remember these are the people and the companies that said yes and did do something to help make a difference.
