Desert Brats MSR-H Thanks!

[Derek Thomas]

The Team is using an existing name from the very successful Desert Brats of the past and the D-Brats had a pretty good first outing in the ULWE. All similar faces, just now on one team.

We all have many people to thank and here they are in no particular order:
Dunlop....many thanks for the many tire changes I requested this weekend
Vortex...for our sponsorship deal and smoking prices on everything
Vesrah....for the best brake pads out there
Powerstands
Sharkskinz

For me, first and foremost, all thanks to God for a great weekend and safe travels for most of my team. Although we had one of us go down, he was relatively unscathed. Secondly, my teammates....my big brother Brad, Stev-o, Greg, and Zack, we all rode hard and I thought we did the best we could. A huge thanks to Troy, Linda, Darla and Alycia for cooking, cleaning, helping set-up take down...and for generally putting up with me all weekend. Stev-o gets an additional honorable mention for driving all the way to Houston, feeling like crap, to deliver some crucial race items we needed.

Congratulations to the Overall and Class winners and a special thanks to Minimotion and Lawpup for your consideration and help with our rear wheel issue. Those are two teams that I respect and even though we were involved in a good racing battle, they had no hesitation when I asked for their help.

And last but certainly not least...thanks to all our RV neighbors for hanging and having beverages w us...I had a blast.

Thanks,
Derek
