Time is a lot more difficult to overcome than money, and I can definately sympathize with being busy with work. I will be able to get the time off but if I don't get my arse in overdrive the next few weeks I'll have a mess to come back to after the rallly. As for the dunes in Minnesota if they're rideable then maybe we should look into an MN rally in the future.
I'd love to have you guys here for the rally, I could give two shits about the tiny little sandbox we call silverlake, but I will understand if it can't be done.
