Ron and Dorothy Strasser
Mike,
Thanks to you for your energy and dedication that benefits us racers (of which you are one!). The Mudslinger was a great start of the 2006 mountain bike season. Lets see folks keep turning out for the rest of the races this season and keep this festival feel. I was energized by grunts, smiles and words of encouragement offered up by fellow riders on the climbs and squeals of delight as riders ripped and slid down (not always wheels down) the single track. Your sponsors deserve lots of credit for the support! Your volunteers were tops... friendly and dependable. With all the hard work I know you put into this, there was one thing that impressed me the most.... I noticed you "earnestly thanking" volunteers and others all during the event. You folks pulled it off well and alot of folks really had fun.
ron strasser, sport rider

Subject: [OBRA Race] Mudslinger, Thanks racers
Thanks to the 240 guys ,and more gals than I have ever seen at the mudslinger in 10 years. New faces and new fun. Each year is different in the 11 years I have put this race on. This was a great one. We have been cooped up with the rain/snow for too long and I hope you got that feeling back in those legs. Special Props to Erik Tonkin winning the overall (1st mudslinger) and Alice Pennington for taking the womens title ( welcome back). I have something for you when I see you next An overall award I spaced) I will work on the 6-10 people who were misplaced and shoot out the first set of results by the am. Let me know if your place or result was missing.
Great job everyone and way to race hard in the MUD!
