OK, ground work starting on the Sarasota Santa Sleigh Drag on Saturday the 12th of December, rain or shine located at Griffin Diesel Performance
The idea behind this, other than having a good time, will be to collect wrapped toys so we can help with the Marine Christmas Toy Drive and give back to the community. Your participation is requested to support the event and help plan and execute the ideas of enthusiasts like us.

Don't you dare just sit back and do nothing!! We will need help getting the word out, passing out flyers. We have lined up a band, DJ but still need port-o-johns, lights, bushhoggin and someone to pickup the sled just to name a few. Oh yeah, food and drinks and ice and stuff. There will be updates to this daily if not every few hours by me.

There will be over night parking available Friday night if you are traveling a long distance. There will be over night parking for Saturday night as well, NO DRUNK DRIVING!!!! IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!! We are adults, we can have fun and be safe at the same time!!

Not being an ass...this time anyway :D
I learned this the hard way @ work. There is no 1st annual event, to be an annual event it must have happened already.
No issues just an FYI

well it will happen annually, and this is the first time, so in my book, and the guy who made the flyer, its 1st annual:der:

:damnit

Flyer looks good though

Great turn out. No problems with the law. They just came by a few times and said there had been no complaints. Lots of first time sled pullers. Lots of carnage in the mud, I even saw a transfer case fall off a mega cab while it was wheeling.:D Pics and video coming soon.
