If they're doing stickers and/or t-shirts if anyone can grab me one I'd be happy to venmo + shipping

Has anyone taken care of you on this?

[Paul_E_D]

Thanks to everyone who helped out. It was good to see some faces from the past come out and show their support. This included the Butcher!

[Pittenger5]

Nothing. If anyone can get me some I'd be down.

Yeah, great to see everyone. Really good turn out. I think Bergs shucked enough corn to last a lifetime. Lol

Good to see Duncan and Brett, too.

Pretty sure they had some left. I'm sure they have some at the shop. Maybe pm Pete. He can probably mail you one.

[OreoGaborio]

I totally didn't grab any stickers or even a t-shirt for myself

But I'm going to get some of the basic 3 stickers from my teammate, Steve. I'll see about getting you some of those.

Adam Clark also has a stack of stickers graciously provided by his sponsor Motosport I believe he wasn't asking for anything for them however donations to the trust that has been set up for the family wouldn't be frowned upon

Awesome job from those who pitched in to help. Bergs was a prep machine, Sam provided service with style. Smoke Shack was incredibly generous providing all of the food and labor. Sounds like we’re over $13k to the trust which more than doubles previous efforts I’ve been involved with.

On a personal note, I hold this community and sport entirely responsible for me finding my path in life. Learning to be accountable and focused is a direct result in my participation at LRRS. Although I wasn’t a close friend of Scott his passing was a tough one to swallow. It’s impossible for something like this to happen without drawing many parallels to your own life. I’m comforted knowing that this community will stand by his family now and always.

Thanks to everyone who helped in this effort.

Well said Duncan. And thank you for once again being involved and the great efforts.

Thanks so much for coming up and being such a big part of an epic fund raiser... I'm sorry I got there too late to help pitch in, but I'm glad you guys got all the help you needed and then some to throw an awesome fund raiser and feed a lotta hungry (and grieving) people.

Was great to see you, dude. Thanks for all you did this weekend.


EDIT: ..... OH...... DUNCAN........... WHO'S FUCKIN BBQ SAUCE WAS THAT??? That shit was BALLER!!!

[sdog30]

It's Smoke Shack sauce. He makes a great hot sauce too.

You guys notice that I somehow got put on only serving the phallic food? Lol

[OreoGaborio]

Is it?

I swear he changed it n gave it more punch.

[sdog30]

The sauce in the bowl was Sriracha.

[butcher bergs]

So, I was confused as to who had what made for shirts and stickers.

Turns out the items at the BBQ we're not made by SVM.

I was at SVM yesterday and they are currently waiting on stock to arrive in the next few weeks.

This leaves Richie with no shirt and no stickers, unless someone knows who had those items at the BBQ...?

[sdog30]

I seem to remember Chuck's wife bringing them back out to the car at the end of the BBQ.

Some of you might have seen this but Racer X posted a tribute of those lost in 2021. Among the greats like Dick Mann, the loss of Pete Collins and Scott Mullin were both recognized.

[Mgiossi]

That's awesome. Very happy to hear that.

Not at all. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing either of them, but felt those here who know of either or both of them would want to see it. There's probably a heck of a motorcycle discussion going on up there right now.
