make your reservations early, it is going to be a big-ass day:smokin:

it says: "Ride during the day and watch the race for free."
I think it means pay for the day and get in after hours for the race free...
my cousin seems to think it means park admission is free... i have been to lazy/busy to call and make sure...

like i said if you will be camping, do not wait... get your reservation!!!

hope to see fellow pirates there!!!

had a great weekend!
shoutout to NT2HLBLY for bringing me an oil pan at 2 this morning, got it throwed on and was baack on the trails today...

that was all we broke, the xj bent his 3rd tie rod today:laughing: i think it may be time for more beef, he has 1 more free one then thats it lol

we actually broke more on the way home, the motor home blew the pass inside dual after hitting a shredded tire in the middle of the road, got it of and put the spare on with no trouble...

we had a blast, i hope everyone else did too!

im kinda pissed i didnt get to see that 5 ton ford do anything, would have beed cool to see him go through that mud bog...




sorry i didnt catch your name at all nt2hlbly but thanks again! sorry you are unhappy with that tj... hope you trade it for something cool! keep me posted!

thanks ham for runnin that pan over too!
i never caught your name bly

i go by Dave most the time... did i wake up any campers with my old flatbed truck??? that 6" stack sure sounds sweet!

not that i know of, alot of ppl where up strangely enough, those tent campers by the road acted like they knew you... but you didnt do any more damage than that fawkin tool with the black ford with semi tires on it... he drove from one side to the other reving his power suck:mad3:

and the guy with the green suburban with brights and flowmasters driving all around the entire campground:shaking:

and the occasional 2stroke 4-wheeler reving up and riding into the restrooms:mad2:

that white dodge is pretty nice (for a work truck) did you know it needs a headlight?

somethin about cummins is just soothing to me,
on the drive home i passed out before we left town:laughing:

yeah that old truck could use alot of things. i only use it fer plown snow and hauln rocks... still runs better than my 08

An alternator took priority over the headlight, haha

The 50/50 Pay out was, $80.
The giveaways Sucked, Hats,Stickers,And a Teddy bear!!!

80 bucks!!! :flipoff2:

damn i need a few more stickers... those fawkers are expensive:laughing:
