Several of us from the Los Angeles area had the pleasure of attending the 5th annual High Sierra VROC event at Lake Topaz, Nevada. The event drew 70 VROC members from five states and Canada. Here are a few pictures from that event. More photos can be found by clicking on the links at the bottom of the page.

Just a few last minute purchases of tickets for the raffle. Top Dawg, sitting at the table next to Tink, was last years big winner, so he's already bought his share for this year! Photo "borrowed" from Sherm

The Saturday night raffel. We had more prizes this year than ever before. It took over an hour to give them all away. Photo "borrowed" from Cranky

Thanks to those VROCers from whom I "borrowed" the pictures. I'll give them back when I'm done, I swear. If you would like to see more from this event, check out their sites.
