Possibly the last year of the Chili Challenge!!! Check the site regarding the proposed wilderness area where the CC is held.

So who is in?

I read through it and missed when it was happening (date wise)

I'd love to go, whether in my Disco, new planned buggy or as shotgun if anyone can accomodate 250lbs of dead weight :flipoff2:

I could probably commit. This would give me the motivation needed to finish up a few things on my truck by then.

Wow, reading the back ground info sounds like the big suck is on the horizon. I can see this having a real negative impact on some of the smaller ranches in the area :(

Larry looks like its just you and me, Nadim we'll find some room come on down. If you can build a buggy in less than 3 months...well bring that too.

Tis

So no Pendy or Frankenrover?

Im sure Bill and I will be there as usual. But I have a sneaking suspicion that Chilli challenge will continue on for some time to come. But I have been wrong before. Seems like every year, its to last time. Their always seems to be some big drama in the area.

Hey, if my rig is done you can count me in!

So what's our choices for trails and when are we sending the registration in?

I'm going to try to make it this year but I'll be bringing my Ftoy since the d-90 hasn't run under it's own power in two or three years now.

Hi
I will not be able to make it, I am working to replace the motor in my RRC LWB and my rock buggy has to have hyro assist steering installed. sorry guy maybe next time.

I was looking at the entry form for the Chile Challenge and am not sure I understand their trail rating system. Can anyone give me an idea of how hard their "hard" and "extreme" trails are? Perhaps relative to trails in Moab?

So when are we sending in the registrations?

I will be There.

As far as difficulty goes, the CC runs are conservatively rated. the extreme runs are harder than any "established" runs in Moab besides the BFE area and possibly some of the newer extreme runs. All of the cc extreme runs are harder than Pritchett.

Frankenrover

How's this?

Wed-Hab Falls
Thurs-tobacco twister
Friday-Patz Revenge
Sat-Rocotillo Rapids

???

Sounds good to me. Hopefully it isn't cold and rainy this year.

Rocotillo Rapids looked scary, this should be fun...

Guys, I got my dates all wrong. I was thnking this was in Aug, not Feb! There's no way I'll be ready, so I will have to bow out gracefully.:emb2:

well I sent the registration in anyone else send there's in yet?

-ben

Looks like I will be there this year. Whats the name of the hotel that you guys always stay at again?

No play time for me ... Jordan is headed there next weekend for some horsie event :shaking:

K

I sent in my registration too late this year. Can we all just meet up and run some trails like a few years ago?

I'm pretty sure that's what KC and Bill are doing. I registered for the list that Tis put up above, but i'll be running whatever trails everyone else is.

I'm out...see you guys next year. Have some fun!

Why? I was just going to call you!

yeah, yeah...I know. Made some changes that I haven't had time to shake down and my trailer got stolen. I could go on and on, blah, blah, blah. I hate to miss it, those are some of my favorite trails!

So who's going?

So who's going?

I am back on the fence right now. I am still recovering from a bad case of vertigo and if I don't feel better this weekend, I will have to cancell. Too bad because the truck is 100% :(

I'm out. For blah-blah-blah reasons. And my tunnel vision has me under the fence. Could be miserable down there with the weather this year. Could add to the experience.

Who went there?
Any good pic?
:confused:

yeah I went none of the other rover guys showed. Of course I didn't show with a rover either. I broke after the 1st day and ended up riding the rest of the time. I am getting pictures emailed to me this week some time so I'll post some up then

Might as well have driven a Rover then! :flipoff2: Sorry about the breakage Ben, time for some 30 spline Longfields. I came back to ABQ Saturday afternoon and headed out to the Puerco on Sunday with the High Desert Rovers. Fortunately the wind had died down but it is back today.:mad3:

yeah it was good meeting you Harry and I actually found someone with a spare long on Saturday morning when I was leaving oh well such is life I'll get it fixed and next year I'll be out in full force
