Don't worry JR, I'll be there doing recovery again this year. I'll winch your broken down mud whomper off the trail just like I have in years past.

why dont ya bring you cab truck? mabye it might make it over halfway this year....

right right....  this coming from a webwheeler... and you didnt make it halfway....

jr if you remember my brother destroyed you his first time entering and took your entry money. The year I entered I made it to the top and also beat your DNF.Didn't you have 2 DNF's that year? So how does that make me gay? Besides I was leaving this topic alone due to the fact of the embarrassment it would have caused to you. 

Also lets not forget about the time I run into you in the valley and your speaker wire motor harness was giving you problems. And you had to back out of the creek bed and let the lowly "Skyline boys" pass you in the trails again.  just saying since you decided to bring me up in this conversation.

SO, ..... anybody going to KOTH?

BOT, I am planning on attending if the wife is feeling well enough for me to leave a few hours.

If I had to guess Id say prob not. Best I can tell theres not many on this board with 40k to build a buggy and not care whether or not it gets the link bars/axles ripped off on the first pass tring to get the fastest time.

What would ya'll reccomend to make it better?

There's been several people who use this board who have competed in the past in the smaller classes. Some have done well.

Anybody running either of the two smaller classes ?

i agree for the most part...

Blah blah blah, thats all i hear...  Lies and such.... 

yeah, that same rig that you cant keep up with....

If JR brings that to the comp and competes, I'll pay half the entry fee ($25)!

I don't keep track of what you "truck of the month" club members have each week, it's too much like watching a soap opera.  

But, feel free to put your money where your mouth is:  $25 from me, how much from you?

Put up or shut up. 

JR, you up for it?

Ill pitch in a half eaten Snickers bar.....

Crap, we were making progress 'till you posted that!   

so who is competing? 

jhall01 wrote: not competin.  sorry to let yall down...

This is the only time you're ever been out, right?  Too bad.

So whats the course layout for this year?  Balls to the wall to the top?  Or half way up and turn around?

tickets cheaper in advance at rco?

  Don't change anything........Look at how youv'e grown in a short time.Just my 2 cents......If you drop the entry sure there will be alot that wont show up as they may see it as a waist of time but you will gain alot who don't want to spend hard earned $ to beat their rig.To those who don't want to spend a hunnard or two it's not about the rig like 1ton said earlier,anything can happen.After many years of wheeling I can tell you that you should know the limits of your rig.Anyone at anytime can win this event,it's all about who can be consistant in manouvering through the rocks at a steady pace to have a fast time.Watch this year and you'll see the ones with fast times wont beat their rigs as bad as the ones who slam the pedal to the floor and try to keep it pointed up the hill.Driver skill and knowledge of his rig not horse power or balls get the check.Consistancy will get you there quicker.Oh well enough about that now I've got to go prep the CAR for the BIG event at RCRC this weekend.Pops

Having a separate course, if feasible, for the smaller wheelers with a lower cost structure would help keep the allure for the big boys and weekend wheelers alike.

Perhaps an area where you could even do a show/shine with an entry fee for best of show (based on the classes that run the courses perhaps?)

Making it an event for multiple classes of rigs can make it a larger appeal and make it not so 'exclusive'...

Just a thought...

x2!!!

do you guys have enough recovery rigs to help get the  rigs out of the woods?

3000 lbs vs 4700 lbs....  hard to compete... lol

While JR's been yappin' about his rig , I've been working on mine, so I WILL be ready.

 Mine isnt on purpose.... matter of fact it basically sounds like crap, but I may go anyway just to not miss out on any fun.  Im stupid like that !

There was only .051 between 1st and 2nd in the unlimiteds?

All of my pictures are up now.
Enjoy everybody.

Thanks Rodgers but they are nothing compared to what Randy Walchuk shot Saturday.

Check out these great shots!
