Thank you Rich!

[Rob LaMoy]

Unfortunately, Rich Stern will not be able to join us at the rally along with many others. I wanted to present this to him in person, however, since that is not possible, I will have to do it here. This is just a small token of our appreciation for such a fantastic site and forum and a big thanks for help with the trophies for the rally. I will be sending this to Rich soon. The dates are for that of the rally. I hope it finds a nice home in his office amongst what I am sure are many other accomplishments. Thanks again Rich for your dedication to this site and your many contributions.

That's very nice...and well deserved. Thanks Rich and even though I can't come out and play with you guys...I think Rob deserves a plaque...

 

[Mark Hofman]

Very nice and very appropriate. Thank you, Rich.



And thank you, Rob, for posting that here so the rest of us can see it!

The plaque is an exquiste hardwood (cheesy gameshow host voice) that is actually hand crafted, and barrell aged to develop a robust taste.....oops sorry wrong commercial. Actually, the bass carving is done by a precision laser that they program the depth of each burn/cut and then let it rip. A scanner, scans the image, they plug the data in, drop whatever wood they want, and the laser burns the image. Really neat! I saw it while picking out the trophies and had to get it for Rich. I was not the only contributor. Please also thank Scott, Ken, and Mac, as they also pitched in for it. Thanks guys. And thanks for the nice comments above. I am just proud and honored to be part of such a group of folks. I encountered a couple of new Tracker owners from CT this weekend at the ramp and had to tell them about the site. This is really the only site, I ever visit anymore other than checking my e-mail. Couldn't tell I bet, from the number of my posts! LOL

Rob, I'd love to be able to make it to the rally. From what I've seen you've done an excellent job in putting it together and I'm sure everyone will have a great time.



As far as this being the best web site...you're absolutely right and a lot of thanks are owed to Rich. Thanks Rich!!!!

 

[Bill McElroy]

You are the man Rich,.......my life won't be complete until I can shake your hand in person!! Thanks for EVERYTHING you do for us!!

Rob, you forgot to mention the size. The picture doesn't do justice. I saw this when I was at Rob's few weeks ago and it's about 10" x 12" x 1/2" if I remember correctly. Anyway, It's as awesome as it is well deserved.



THANKS RICH!!!

[Texas Transplant]

My congrat's and thanks for job(s) well done. Wish I could attend, but since I will be just returning from vacation (6/1), can't justify taking additional time off and trailering all the way up there.



Next year.

 

[Kim Becker]

Rob - Outstanding !!!! Rich, I agree with the rest. THANK YOU.

 

[Gene McCarthy]

You're both gluttons for punishment! LOL. Seriously if it were'nt for guys like you we'd all end up in bars or tackle shops bs-ing instead of here or the tourney. On second thought ......

[Rich Stern]

Rob (and Scott and Ken and Mac), I am honored. Thank you. I will proudly display the plaque in my office!



I'm sorry I won't be at the rally. As I explained to Rob, I'm planning/organizing a rally for the Sport Trac web site members, taking place in Louisville, two weeks after the NTOWS rally. Over 200 people are scheduled to drive in from all over North America, as well as my sponsors, and significant participation from Ford. So, I'm feeling a bit under the gun from that event, otherwise I'd be joinging you.



It's a pleasure to publish this site and have it populated and appreciated by such a fine group of participants. I appreciate the acknowledgement you all give me. I hope we'll be able to do this for many years to come.

 

[Rob LaMoy]

You guys are gonna make me cry! LOL, no really, I truly appreciate the gesture, but save the $$$ and donate it to Sue's derby for physically challenged kids. I would prefer that. My reward is getting to host this with Pierre, please don't forget his efforts. He has put into action some things that I would not have had the connections for. He was insrumental in getting Jordan to attend. Anyhow, meeting all of you, and KICKING your butts in the tourney is all the thanks I need! LOL That's for you Mac!

 

[Buzz Bouvier]

Rich, I too thank you for a great site, I look forward to reading the post for information that I find very useful. Rich this site is by and far the best out there. Thanks again..



Rob & Pierre you are deserving of thanks as well to putting this rally together this year...
