Schweet! Just got confirmation from Tim @ CRAWL that they will be returning this year too. Maybe you can get in a magazine...mmm...again. :laughing:

Planning is going well too! Lookin' like going to be one of best Rocktoberfest yet! :D

[95steel]

You know my dumb ass will be there :)

I am looking forward to actually driving my heep around for once!
The last four years I have worked every minute of the event. I plan on helping, but I am looking forward to getting out of the campground for more than five minutes!

Dammit.... the freaken myspace page has more friends than me.... ohhhh gaaaaaawd I'm a looooooser....

But hey, I'll be at rocktoberfest and I'll make sure I get another t-shirt that says "I was there"... that way I'll be cool!

[Sandspyder44]

Ha ha ha ha!

[95steel]

So there is a buggy frame, shit load of tires, and a shit load of winches in the raffle...... I think they are going to need a bigger truck to haul all of that shit and fireworks down!

Coming from Knoxville, TN how far of a pull is it.

[95steel]

Speedcravin (Josh) just pulled through that area back to here. I honestly can't remember. It is over 10 hours if I remember correctly.... just not sure.

[custom01]

Thanks. Will try to find directions and see if I can get a group that way

[Sandspyder44]

I'm running the miles right now on Rand Mcnally here at work and from Knoxville, TN proper to Ozark, AR Proper it's 627 miles. All I-40 also (fyi).

Ozark is right on I-40 and then Cass is about 17 miles down the "Pig Trail Senic by-way" from Ozark, AR (AR 23). From there you will drive about 7 miles on AR 215 to Byrd's Adventure Center.

[tortis]

this will be my first rock crawl. can't wait to see it up close.

[tortis]

is it worth attending this event if you don't have a rig? i want to bring my wife and let her have a first hand look at rock crawling and off-roading in general, but what can we see from the campgrounds? i drive a civic, so off roading with it is out of the question. how far are the trails from the campground? thanks for any insight. robert

[Sandspyder44]

Come on down or up in your case! :)

There will be competition that will be held Friday am/afternoon and Saturday am/afternoon. I will have a schedule of the competition events soon. Most of it will be held in the campground or near by. Trail rides will be going out all times on Friday when groups get together and Saturday AM. I'm sure we will be able to find you a seat some where. This years' raffle is going to be outstanding, about 5 sets of tires, 5 winches, a buggy chassis and everything in between. If you guys make it up look me up. Ask around you'll be able to find me. :smokin:

My family and friends will be there Thursday through Sunday. I cant wait. Looks like the weather will be nice, cool, and dry! We will have at least five rigs. Maybe more depending on if we are able to finnish up a jeep before Thirsday. Hell we might bring it and finnish it there.

[tortis]

the weather is going to be perfect. can't wait. this week is draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaging already.

[95steel]

Finishing the jeep today (murphy says it will not be until noon Wed though).

Heading down Wednesday afternoon!!!!

Did the grocery shopping thing yesterday.... damned that hurt!!!!

[Sandspyder44]

New diff protection on, new baby PRP race seat in, new bb's in wheels, finished up wiring last night now down to little things, like packing tools and things up. I'm going to try to fit up or make a unlimited type bikini top for the whole rig the loading her up tomorrow, taking her to work with me and then heading out right after work. :bounce2:

[Sandspyder44]

All packed up and getting ready to roll out. I'M STOKED! See you guys there!!! :D:bounce:

[maddtrapper]

Loaded and ready. see ya there.

[95steel]

I had a great time, wheeling instead of working was a nice change of pace!!! The competition went well from what I could tell. The raffle was great (I won a winch!, I never win anything).

[Sandspyder44]

U don't need a winch, give it to me! :D

[jeepjbb]

I had a great time this year. I felt the competition went well IMHO also had a good time trail riding with sandspyder and 95 steel. Hope we can have more people stop by next year. I have like 400 -600 pics from competition I will bring to the next meeting for someone to post on the website.

[95steel]

Shit Bryan, you could run over my jeep with those 49's. We need to get out and trail ride again... I just need to trailer my rig next time so I can go out and "test" her.

[Sandspyder44]

jeepjbb, get me those pics and I'll get them posted up for you. Working on that right now.

[jeepjbb]

most of my pics are from the two days of competition and some of the pics from sunday morning I have them on a cd to bring to you at the meeting.

[95steel]

I didn't get very many pics, but here are a few. Yes I know my little MJ has gotten used to driving on pavement and is not used to trail riding any more :)
