A big thank you to Jedi and the SocalRx club

I wanted to take the time to thank everyone involved in getting 7stock to happen this year.

The time, money, and effort donated by so many people is the only thing that kept this thing afloat. If it wasn't for the determination of a handful of guys there would be nothing but "boo hoo, no sevenstock this year" threads.

Was everything perfect, no. Was everything better then could have been expected with the limited time frame available to pull this off, hell yeah!

I heard some grumbling about size of the event, lack of space, wait time to get in, etc. I know it sucks to get turned away, I know it sucks getting crushed into a tight space, and I know the food was expensive. Just keep in mind that this was the best of a bad situation and I will always take a less then perfect 7stock over no sevenstock at all.

All in all it exceeded my expectations and went much more smoothly then I thought it would. Bern/Jedi/etc all need a big thanks for everything they did this year.

I know next year is going to be even bigger and better!

I agree with Laythor. This was an event no one expected to happen. But it did through the efforts and determination of a a diehard group of people. To those folks that had a hand in making this happen, We at BHR thank you. Long live SevenStock.

Thanks Guys!

My own thoughts: From 5:20am to 10:30am - It was pure Madness and WE ALL tired our VERY BEST with what resources/manpower we had in order to get SS started.

After 10:30am - F.U.N.

I truly can't imagine how much goes into the behind the scenes for this event. The organizers and volunteers pushed all their efforts into giving us SevenStock 14, for a first time ever, venue at the fairplex. From hardballs to hiccups, they did what they could as no one expected this limited time frame and location change would generate the turnout it did. No doubt, the efforts and limits will continue to be pushed in order to improve SS.

Thank You SoCal RX club!

Long Live the Rotary!

Yeah, there's no doubt that quite a bit goes on behind the scenes. I appreciate all the time and effort that goes into this event.

It was already said so well above, but all things considered, the event exceeded my expectations.

Hopefully it all worked out on the financial side so we can start planning for next year's event - SevenStock XV - which will hopefully be the best one yet!

As others have said thanks a ton for all your time and effort. I was honestly pretty amazed with the event. Not having been to a previous Sevenstock I had no clue what to expect. What I got was a great time. Getting to meet and put faces to all the names I see here and getting sit chat with the great guys at BHR was awsome. I didn't even mind the delay in the morning,walking around chatting and checking out all the rotary goodness in the predawn hours was just as good as the show. Again thank you all for making my first Sevenstock a memorable one.

^^+1 and it couldn't have been possible without the Rotary Owners themselves, I saw a lot more FD and RX2,3 owners come out to play. Very Nice. So many new ideas

jedi you definately deserve a huuuge thank you! and so do all the volunteers who helped make it possible

this year was one of my favorites, even waiting outside in the staging lot to get in was fun (only bummer was everyone including me needed to use the restroom lol) and all in all it was just a truly badass event.

where theres a will theres a way, we gotta make sevenstock 15 happen!!!
