Thanks to everyone for one of the best Braselton Bash shows ever!

The 2010 Edition of the annual Chip Foose Braselton Bash wrapped up in the wee hours of Sunday morning – and it was a great time! The weather was wonderful, the crowds were large and the cars were stunning. While we’re still doing the final accounting on the weekend, we raised at least $101,000 for the Progeria Research Foundation. And that figure might go up a little as all the final contributions are counted. To make it even sweeter, we had a great time doing it!

Although the event was scheduled to wrap up around 8 p.m. Saturday night, the crowds clamoring for autographs and sketches from Chip and Courtney were so massive the last name wasn’t signed or car drawn until around 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning! We really can’t say enough about Chip and Courtney spending so much time signing their names and talking to people – their commitment is unbelievable. Special thanks go to the fans and participants themselves, of course, since none of this would be possible without their generosity or enthusiasm.

We’ll have an in-depth look at the event very soon, including a list of show winners and the final amount raised for Progeria Research. Until then, check out the event photos on the YearOne flickr page here.
