I would have to agree with EZ, one of the best Events there is. Will they be doing the " DICE RUN " again next year? We had a blast doing it!

A few are ready for the next time it gets "chilly". "Be prepared" I think thats what the pancake makers say.
Six more months... I'll be ready.

Great! It would be interesting to know where the raffle engines and transmissions have ended up. I recall that one immediately went to someone who had blown their own engine on the way to BBB! |

Mr. Hot Dog Fred scored one.
Didn't Disco Bev win one or was that another gig?

That would be Ricki Fu, he bought the raffle engine from the winner to put in his westy that was towed in.
The Last Resort also one one that has been in Joeys Place SC for a few years now.
Cristian Salazar won one which I believe she put in her squareback which she drove for a few years.
The BBB X raffle motor (I think that was the year or maybe BBBXI) raffle engine is still sitting in a corner of the winner garage.
Hot Dog Freds was spruced up by the OVERHAULIN crew and is in his bus now, he did have 2500 plus miles on it before the overhaulins got hold of it, after it sat in his garage for a couple years.
There's 5 of the I believe 9 or so the LBB donated.
Maybe we'll go way backwards at BBB XIII and build a 36er to raffle off 
Feel free to ad to this if anyone can remember the others. I'm sure going throw all the years pics we could find all the winners.

Bob (tubdub) and I will likely leave Wednesday morning and camp Wednesday night at the campground next to the show area. I like to be in town Thursday evening for the Dice Run.
I'm not sure if Ricky will be into heading down that early, however. |
