It's midnight here in North Carolina and my family and I just got back from Iron City MX in Blacksburt, SC. Oakley brought some m/c industry people out to the MX track for a full day of practice, food, drinks, go-kart racing, prize giveaways and did I mention food? I left sooooo impressed that I figured I'd share this fantastic day moto brothers.
The track was preparation was great and was opened for practice at noon. The Oakley guys then gave everyone a tour of the rolling O lab(shows how the sunglasses are made and tested for optical perfection) and gave everyone a choice of new goggles(special edition) or sunglasses. Lunch was served followed by more practice. Once practice was over a 5pm, the grill was fired up and BBQ chicken and ribs was served for dinner. After dinner, the oval dirt track was opened for the go-karts. The O lab had the music blasting the whole time and it made for a real party atmosphere. After dinner, the Oakley guys did a random drawings over the next couple of hours and gave away a lot of really cool stuff. I even won an Oakley Crankcase watch. Everyone left the track fat and happy.
If anyone from Oakley is on this board, Shawn, Adam, Brian, James, Kelly, Emily, Ty and the couple others that I didn't get names from Oakley, did an amazing job. In case any of you Vital members were beginning to wonder, NO, I do not work for Oakley. Thank you Oakley for a very memorable day for my entire family!!!!!! Can't wait for next year.
