I'm in the files looking for something, and I found an e-mail that Jeremy sent us after our first Challenge--nearly 20 years ago, back when the cap was just $1500.

Anyway, his e-mail ended with this:

P.S. Do you think that there will be a $1500 challenge part two?   Me and some
of my friends already have some more ideas........

the challenge is like mega millions or powerball jackpots, though obtainable. It gets us to think, what would we do, what would we create.

Hahaha.  Wow that's pretty funny. 

Ten challenge cars later I am building hot tub like structures on corvettes.

They lost ammo and r compounds fording a river on the way to the challenge, and in the way home a team member surcame to dysintery.

It was just a thank-you note.
