I know it's really late, but I wanted to send out a special thanks for all the people that helped me make it to and through World Finals. Even though the Livewire van and the bass race van were both unfinished, I had so much help from a lot of great guys. I want to thank all the guys that came down for the weekend build at my house (Cory Hoskins, Bill Wolf, Dion Williams, Gene Alexander, Mike Stiers, and Pee Wee). This was the week before world finals when the bass race van was completely empty. An extra special thanks to Pee Wee who helped out more than I could have ever asked. After the weekend build Pee Wee was there working with me everyday after until finals. Pee Wee found a place for me to work on the van when it was raining and my garage was too small to work in. When I had to work and didn't have time off; it was Pee Wee who was still at the garage working away to get this project finished. Most People don't know him yet, but will soon enough. This man even has a heart condition; and even through all his medication he refused to stop working. Much love goes out to Pee Wee! Also a special thanks goes out to Mike Stiers who flew in from Chicago for a whole weekend to help me work on the Livewire van which had a brand new design in it. We never got the chance to finish it or get it where we wanted it, but we got it to finals and did well. Thanks Mike! The Friday of finals was a mess. If it wasn't for Mike Falon and Dusty Hreha, neither van would've made it to finals. The Livewire van needed brakes, and the Bass race van didn't have any batteries or amps or subs or head unit or wires. The only thing in it was the box. They along with Jen and Robin completely packed both vans with everything we had to make it work. I want to say thanks to you guys at this point, because when we got to finals everything else was a blurr for me. At finals I spent 90% of my time working on the livewire van. Everything still had to be done in there (no woofers, gains matched, nothing). So during all this I had no idea what was going on in the bass racer. I know that Mike Falon, Dusty Hreha, Will B Smooth, Cory Hoskins, Mike Stiers, Iggy, Jen, Sheri, and Robin were all over helping out. I know I didn't see everyone who helped, but I just want to thank you all for everything. If I forgot anyone, please forgive me. I was so busy that I just can't remember everything. Thanks to all the manufacturers and businesses that helped out: Maxxsonics, Hooker Audio, RE Audio, Ohio Genorator, Rheha Reflections, Rolla's Shop, and Pee Wee's Back Yard Machanics.

All I can say is WOW! I returned to Columbus for the holiday and finally had the chance to see and hear the Ground Pounder van. I have never heard or FELT anything like it in my life! I was actually in pain from getting the demo. Eric, you and the crew have done an incredible job with the van.
