Anybody competing / watching want to pick me up at the airport Friday night :D (SpaceGhost, IndyCJ, Syko, Troy the lurker, anyone???) Hope to see a few PBB members there. I think Ken said that you guys were chicken Lance so unfortunately we won't be seeing you there :flipoff2:

PM me the details of your arrival, and when you need or want to be at Badlands. I am sure I can get my entry paid if I divert you to some flatlands, hehehehe.

Dude,

Sorry man, can't help you out. Gonna be heading out of town for two weeks on business, and I doubt if the last thing that my wife wants to hear is 'Hey, gotta play taxi driver, be back in 5 hours'.

:(

Sorry, maybe next time.

Okay, start a roll call for this.

I have my pops' surprise 50th b-day party in Chicago on that saturday (24th), but I could sneak down that night and hang out on the 25th.

A buddy of mine has some campsites at Sommers Carol campground, so I have a place to stay.

Now ya'all just have to convince me who's going and that they're worth hangin' out with. :flipoff2:

I'm there, but assisting with the event. I'm arriving at Summers Campground on Wed evening and getting in some seat time on Thursday and Friday. Look for the blue camo beast and stop at our site for a beer or 6!

You can find the information at http://www.sportsintherough.com

Oh, and CMK, :flipoff2:.....you'd best start lookin for a site now... :D

Dude, if Spaceghost can't help you out I would be more then glad to pick you up. let me know. I just want you to know this cuts into my wrenching time. :D Is your rig ready?


Lets all get together Friday night for a beer. I'm sure Spaceghost knows where the hot spots are.

AWESOME!!!! Thanks for the help. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing and where I'm going to stay, etc. Are you spectating at the event also???


For ERoCC-
I don't honestly know is if there is any way my tires will fit a 36" caliper. By a rough estimate they are WAY to big. Tonight I'm going to sit down and get serious with the measurements and figure out how much would need to come off. I can do the frame tie-ins in one afternoon so Sunday is looking good for them. I got the spare spring pack and a spare 60 cover this weekend. Need to pick up the 14bolt cover, found it already just need to bring my hi-lift to pull it. Other than the tires everything is a go, I'll work with the rubber tonight and see what's up.

That's an understatement! The party will be at the campgrounds, or all the way to Lafayette:D 20 miles or so.

I got 'Pinkdude' covered, I'll get his arse to the comp, but it's gonna cost him! Some "Shupee bucks", thats a novel way to get a free entry, hehehe.

As far as deciding wether to come and hang out with us, hahahaha, why would you do that? We are only the funnest bunch on this board, that "actually" wheel our shit!

Hey Lance,
Wanna spot a Cruiser in the stock/mods? That would enhance my sponsorship opps, and I'd be a POR celeb! Thanks for securing the additional bandwidth the "worlds greatest" bbs needed. But, I did get a lot of wrenching done this last 2 weeks when the site was slower than my 15 year old taking out the trash!

That's my old stomping ground. We can hit up the college bars where I used to bounce if you want. There's also on REAL nice gentlemen's club where my buddies worked (don't know if they're still there or not :( but the girls were very nice :D)

At the moment that weekend is open for me. If I come it'll probably be on Saturday for the day.

Will the park still be open for wheeling or is it shutting down entirely for the comp?

Open as usual, with the quarry being closed for the comps. It is my understanding that you can pay the $10 spectator fee and walk back to the quarry, or pay the daily fee of $15 and wheel, just not in the quarry. You could get closer this way and walk outta the woods to the quarry. NO ALCHOHOL, NO SHADE! Bring water and sunscreen, umbrellas, and string bikini's Pinkdude will be in one!

Robies is about it in Attica and that ain't sayin' much.

Although, I do have video of my buddy body slamming one of the female Atticans on a snow pile when we were playing king of the hill with them the night Attica was supposedly under Marshall Law (big snow storm). My college buddies and I couldn't get back to our hotel in Danville so we were stuck "playing" with the local Atticans. It's an excellent campfire story. There's something in there about strip fooseball too. :D

I don't remember the name of it, but THE joint is the jiggly bar back in Lafayette that Bigdude mentioned ... a few blocks down from the Red Roof Inn. There are also a bunch of excellent college bars in that town. And the local female population is always looking to be ruined.

I'll be pullin' up a spot of grass in Woody's campsite so be on the loockout for the blue camo cruiser. I'll be pimpin' in the red convertible. :)

LOL

I don't think my pops would appreciate that too much. Now, threaten to do that to my heep and I might be game. I just have to figure out a way to get it down there with no rear axle, no tranny, no t-case, no d-shafts, and no trailer. :D

So are we all gonna' do something to distinguish us as pbb'ers? Or will we stand out from the rest because we'll be the ones ukin' in the bushes the mornings after? :)

I just called and reserved a spot for the 23rd and 24th. Right now they have spots open for primitive and electric/water hookups. To be sure and get a spot you should call and reserve, no money is required to do so. The info:

Camping (8 miles north of Attica on SR 55)
Summers Carroll Campground (765) - 762-2832

This is where the "party" is!

Kens got living quarters in his new trailer and he offered for me to hole up there. But if a PBB party is going on I want to be there. My dad only lives about 20 minutes from the Badlands and we're also welcome to crash at the house there (you, me, SG, Ken, etc). We would get a hotel but the nearest one isn't very close.

No way brother, no diss. I don't care who picks me up, I just don't want to trouble you guys. So if it's not a problem for you SG then I'll see you at the airport. Maybe Syko could drop me off Sunday??? You guys are a great help. I felt bad for Ken having to fumble around IN to get me if I could find somebody already heading up there. SG you heading up there Friday night right? that's perfect brother.

It doesn't bother me until you cant make one simple post and show someone respect and show excitement for finally getting to meet them and so adolescent comes along and makes a shitty remark.

I have seen tons of post that people come here and get nothing but shit and odnt wat to come back. Most of the shit talk and joking around is fine, but some crosses the line.

I am not going anywhere... I like POR and it is a great place. So since the founders are some of the biggest shit talkers around, then that menas you have to follow them? If they just off a bridge, would you?

Lance(a founder and not shit talking) and I were exchanging a few normal posts. What was thew point of you chimming in? Think everyone will like you better now?

if you need a spotter I can be there as early as friday(or tomorrow for that matter), but my money is tight, so i would need a place to crash.

Summers Campground is located 10 miles north of Attica, just west of Hwy 55. Pool, clean showers, fairly large sites, easy in-out for big trucks/trailers.

Kevin, where are you staying?

Can anyone tell me where this mythical campsite is? how much is it?

Dustin,
You do know this is next weekend?

Here is the scoop on the campground as I recall it. To get there from Badlands, go north to HWY 28 (runs e-w thru town) turn left (west) and go about a mile over the bridge. Turn right (north) on HWY 55 it's marked, and go 7-8 miles. You will see a couple of small signs on the side of the road marking the turn to the campground. You turn left on a gravel road maybe a mile, then right a short way to the campground.

The primitive camping is in the back, it's a large open grass field surrounded by heavy tree cover. They reserve about 25 spots with picnic tables and fire rings, but have room for twice that many if you manage the parking (tow rigs and trailers). The rate was $14 for 2 per night last year, I don't know if that changed.

The restrooms and showers are pretty nice for a campground. All housed in block buildings, near the pool and general store. They are insistant that we keep the noise down after 11 pm, and they will be making the rounds if needed to boot the rowdies. Adult beverages are permitted, fires in the rings, and bring some bug repellant!

Here's the contact info:
Camping (8 miles north of Attica on SR 55)
Summers Carroll Campground (765) - 762-2832

I reserved me a spot, and I have a smaller 2 man tent that I will bring, so if they do sell out I'll have some space.

I've likewise got two powered sites reserved, but they are large and should have extra space for overruns. I've got the corner site just at the entrance to prim camping area - arriving late Wed night.... (wanna get in some trail time prior to the comp stuff...)

<--have microwave
<--have power for blender
<--have NO TV or VCR....so hopefully someone can drag one along.....
<--will have extra coolers along for those packing beverages with no storage space....

(remember, this is the Lemon we're talking about...just happy it runs most days! lol)

This is NOT the site directly outside the block shower house, but one "island" over (south, pine tree in corner)...yes, it's still a traffic site, but I'm good for the social side of things..heh heh Plus, it's got the fewest number of permanent neighbors, so fewer distractions....

Alright, now that i got my days straightened out. Rob, is talking about going to Indy this weekend, and I just assumed that he was going for the event, but it doesn't matter, I'm still in.

As far as the camping goes, I don't take up much space, so hopefully i can buy some ground off someone. As it stands now I'll probably be there this saturday(with rob), and more than likely definetly back again next Friday afternoon.

Syko, myself, CMK, and others will DEFINITELY be hitting the jiggly bar Saturday and we are all welcome to crash at my dad's in Lafayette for a short while before trekking back to Attica (assuming we would drink enough to not feel like driving back to Attica right away).

who the hell knows....end of the day, had already run the entire orange and pink trails, plus much of the challenging stuff in the quarry...decided at 4:30 to take a spin around the ridge before heading out to the office....4th in line, slippery trail, and I tried a higher line. I think I was actually too tired to take my foot out of it when the drivers rear dropped into a hole. Wife laughed the whole time we went over - glad we finally flopped on MY side!

I gotta flop every time there....it's becoming tradition. Better on the easy/soft stuff than on the rocks I guess....

I likewise have a laptop and can hold pics for you guys. I can burn them to cd the following week after I get back to work (need the network to transfer the files back to the burner). I also have a 16 and 64 mb stick and I won't be taking pics.

On that note if anyone would use my camera and tripod and get some shots (never get pics of my shit) I would be very appreciative. BTW, it's a coolpix 995 3.2 megapixel cam. I also have a nice little 8 mm video cam I should bring.

After making quite a few set-up, weight and WB changes I went back to Disney last night to test the set-up on all the obstacles that spanked me in the PRO Rock event last June, I crawled most of them and finished them all!

I can shoot pics for ya, I wont be doing much else.

I am wondering if I should bring the 60 instead of the 80, I am sceered of fucking up the 80 (its the wifes:D) Is there going to be opportunity to wheel through out the weekend? I dont think I would have enough will power not to beat the shit out of the 80 just to see what it can do. Maybe I should bring the 60, but then I might have to ride home with you Mike.

I can just hear it now:
wife-"you arent going to kill my truck, are you?"
me-"what?" avoiding eye contact
wife-"you arent going to kill my truck, ARE YOU?"
me-"define KILL?"
wife-"I WILL define KILL if you fuck up my truck"
me-"FUCK YOU" (on the inside:D )
Me for real-" I solomly swear not to abuse, molest or otherwise harm the said Landcruiser with the 2.5" lift and diff locks:( "

I will be there friday arount 430pm

I'm actually arriving in Attica (Summers campground) tonight around 11pm or so. We are hitting trails on Thurs and Friday, then watching/helping on Sat and Sun. The quarry area will be closed due to the event, but the balance of the park and some of the trail areas should be open for use.

Figger us in camp Fri nite by 5ish...unless I choose to flop again at 4:30 on an easy section of trail like I did last time...bah

Mike, what time does the comps "officially" start on Sat-Sun? 10am I would guess?

no clue on the channel....we'll tell Lisa or Troy where we are headed, and knowing us it won't be until 10am anyways. Mine is hard to miss....blue camo cruisers are not all that common...heh Most likely the quarry area on Fri morning, prior to them setting up for the course stuff. I'd bet we're in camp by 4 on Fri, or down at Robies for Bloodys...heh

My guess would be channel 16. Got an ETA?

We are the same on working...talked with Troy that week and we have like 5-6 people coming down to assist, but he wasn't sure what would be needed - Bob is "in charge" of all that. Sounded like we may do a rotating shift at some of the entry points for spectators....one hour on, two off, or something like that....give us as much viewing time as possible. I'm NOT sitting at some damn gate all day...heh

Well I just returned from the Pro-Rock event. It was wicked. The trails were greasy to say the least. There were about 17 vehicles including both classes.
There was some good carnage on the first couple stages. There was a new white TJ in the stock mod class that did a roll and mangled the hood and then somehow ended up on its wheels in the creek (I think today it could have been classified as a river!). The same TJ later smoked the radiator and was out for the day. The damn thing only had 20 some thousand on it.
The Pro's ran a good show although we left a little early. I dont know many of the names of the competitors since I dont follow that circuit that much. I will get some of these pics up. I had to use a regular camera and have CVS put the pics on disc so they basically suck but I will put them up for your pleasure!

Well last pic for now....
How would you like to have a house that overlooks your own Mission Impossible trail. What a nice back yard! Some people have all the fun....

How did the aluminum and purple CJ7 do? He drove 2000+mi to be there.

Curious... I've wheeled attica a good few times, and was the whole competition run on MI3? Looks like one hell of a time!

Yea the whole run was on Mission Impossible trail. It was a hard a wet course all day long. The cones were very close and the rocks were huge. Getting ready to go back today I will throw some pics up when i get home. As for the Purple CJ7 he did ok, as in no body damage or major carnage. But I think everyone of the stock mods had trouble getting over most of the obstacles. It was total hell down there yesterday!

Thats why calling the trail Mission Impossible 3 is so much more fitting :)
