"I would just really like to thank the Bandit and Snowman for being loaded up and truckin', doing what they said can't be done. The Bandit and Snowman had a long way to go, and a short time to get there; however, the Bandit kept his foot hard on the pedal and never minded them brakes. Bandit and Snowman let it all hang out because they had a run to make and eventually just put that hammer down and gave it hell.
Just like the Bandit and Snowman, the Class of 2024 is loaded up and truckin', doing what they said can't be done. My classmates and I had a long way to go, and only three short years to get there but, like the Bandit, we kept our feet hard on the pedals and never once minded them brakes. We're east bound and down, we've got a run to make, so just put that hammer down and give it hell, Class of 2024!"
