00:00 Alright, now we got one left to go.
00:03 And that is our Buggy Class Champion for 2011.
00:07 And this happens every once in a while, as you guys probably figured out already.
00:10 It really, really helps to be steady and consistent in every single event.
00:16 Winning one and finishing last in the others doesn't really help you a whole lot.
00:19 You really gotta kind of be competitive in almost every single step of the way.
00:24 And our Buggy Class winner this year was that, actually.
00:27 He finished second in the Toe Test, the Mud Pit, the Hill Climb, the Mini Rubicon, and
00:31 the Tank Trap.
00:33 And overall, wound up leading on points.
00:36 He ran consistently strong in every event except for the Brain Twister.
00:40 Otherwise he was in the top two in the rest of them.
00:44 And we are very pleased and very proud.
00:46 While a lot of boys on Pirate 4x4 won't be too happy, we are proud of our son Alex Sanders.
00:53 [applause]
01:13 We love you Alex!
01:15 [applause]
01:20 Wow! This is a cruel joke!
01:24 I'm gonna be mad at every one of you when you take it away from me.
01:28 I know he won, don't lie to me.
01:30 But no, I want to thank my sponsors.
01:33 I want to thank Amsel, Mickey, I want to thank Maxstrap, everybody for helping me get here.
01:38 Everybody back at Salem that gave me money.
01:40 I got $2,000 worth of gas money to come out here.
01:42 That's the only way I made it.
01:44 My coach, I was asked by Dad to let me take off like three weeks solid to work on this buggy.
01:50 I have bills piled on it horrible right now.
01:53 My grass is six feet tall.
01:55 My buggy won't go through it.
01:57 I will find a car when I'm old.
02:00 That's what's gonna happen.
02:02 So anyways, I want to thank everybody out here.
02:04 Every one of you guys that supported me.
02:06 I mean, you guys are great.
02:08 I'm sorry I kind of got in trouble for telling you guys when he was running, you know, you know,
02:12 "Do this." "No, no, you can't do that. You're like my buddies. Who cares?"
02:16 This isn't a competition against you.
02:18 It's a track, man.
02:20 It's the way we beat, but I love every bit of it.
02:23 I want to win with every one of you guys if I ever strike it rich, you know, which I'm not going to do.
02:28 But if it ever does happen, I'm going to hang out with you.
02:31 Otherwise, it's going to happen.
02:32 We're going to drink.
02:33 [Applause]
