1st Annual East Coast New Years Day FToy Ride the "EC-NYD-FR" (Icc-Nid-fer) :D :D :D

My junk pile is not finished yet, but it will be on the trail New Years Day. The TachedOut crew will already be there, but I wanted to try to get the Southern FToys together and start the new year off right.

There's:
Me
Zman
Spencer "Zman Jr"
Wade
Wade's 2nd ftoy??
#36 in TX
Wabbit :D
there's another guy in Tuscaloosa that's for sale
#507 in SC
XChassis in Memphis
The one in TX is for sale I think?? #125
And ..... Nolen has one in MS :D

We were looking to go to Gardendale, AL which is the same as Grayrock except it's free :D

Or Hawk Pride Mtn is in Muscle Shoals and is wayyy kick ass. Can ride there for two days and is very well marked. More fun than Grayrock.

Who wants to go?? The Wrong coasters are all invited and I'm sure I missed some other Southern gentlemen.

I don't know abou sponcership and catering and shit, but I'll make tshirts if you pay up front :D

Who's in??

Jan 1st is a Sat by the way.

Got any pics of the wheeling there?

The best I can do from my phone right thus second is to tell you to search tachedoutoffroad in YouTube and I've got videos from both places.

HP is the best park in AL in my opinion. The owners are cool and it's only like $20 for the weekend. Great riding fir 37"s plus and could probably still get a tow rig to the top of the hardest trail.

Harlan would probably be the only cooler place around here, but that's a hell of a hike for all of us I think.

Zman
Spencer "Zman Jr"
"Spencer" works for me, or Supra 4x4 but not Zman Jr, thankyou very much. I am the old man of the team.

wow.... 9 hr drive. im a maybe. depending on if i can swing another hunting trip there this year. i hunt in Selma (actually snow hill) with my wifes family. i will try to work something out for this year if i still have the ftoy

I think Marc and I would be up for it. We have not been to Hawk Pride or Gardendale. Which one is closer to Atlanta?

Hawk Pride? Unless that place has added some serious trails I would be very dissappointed to drive 9 hours to ride there, it is cool but mostly because it's 2 hours from my house. Harlan, Golden Mountain, the Cove in Monteagle, Gray Rock, Morris Mountain, Flat Nasty over in MO, SMORR, or Superlift in Hot Springs AR, all epic spots. If HP has added some new stuff please post up and i'll be glad to admitt I was wrong.

Superlift in Hot Springs AR, all epic spots. If HP has added some new stuff please post up and i'll be glad to admitt I was wrong.

So how would that place compare to Hot springs? Worth a 9 hour drive?

I like HP over Grayrock or Morris mtn.

Never been to Golden Mtn or Monteagle??

Harlan and Hot Springs are both cooler, but I think would be a minimum of 7 hours for everyone. I've got a four day that weekend so Im wide open. Hot Springs is a safer bet if it rains.

If we can get 10 ftoys together, I'll drive 8 hours. Got a two place trailer now too.

Hot springs has an open ride that weekend. It 7 hours from here, 10 from the ATL, 7 from Beaumont.

Let's roll.

I'm new to the FToy world but would be down for something like this.

hmmm.... definately a better chnce of this happening

hmmm.... definately a better chnce of this happening

Like you're keeping it?

Or like Hot Springs is mo betta?


If we can get a good commitment, Ill email my homies at Petersons 4WD or see if the Rock Midget or Crawl wants to come out??? Try to make it legit-ish.

i can probably make it there. As for the ftoy... it is for sale, not ON sale. I am not going to give it away. if someone is willing to pay my asking price i will let it go. i bet brandon (ricks72) and I will be able to make it.

open event to other rigs??

How long of a haul would Hot springs be for the Colorado or any of the other central'ish fellas?

Only been to hot springs in the summer so some cold weather might be a nice change there

open event to other rigs??

lets see here, if yall go to harlan that would give me about 3 and half months to come up with the money, harlan is about 7 hours for me. would you sell it without the tires since you have the tires up for sale? youve sparked my interest even though it doesnt look like yall are going to harlan

Hot Springs is 15 hours from Denver and 21 from Phoenix.

I don't have any real rules for the ride that I just made up :D

I'll be bringing two 4linked Toyota buggies and a built mini truck, but I try to avoid those oneton-herpesinfested-jeepbody-things.

twoslo, fly in and ride along with someone... if you have some money by then you can fly in and rent a uhaul 1 way on your way back. or just drive in with an empty trailer and bring it home with you!

way to far for me unfortunatley. im already flying out for the KOH in febuary.

harlan is so much closer for me but not for you guys. ive been to harlan 9 times and am going back next month.

AR is 12+ for me.
AL, KY, NC, or TN and I would be in.

Jellico would be a lot of fun.

Im am def down for this. My x chassis is not done yet but should be down way before new years. Im in Chattanooga TN so im close to everywhere really
..

Harlen gets my vote, if I'm not tearing down for a much needed rebuild. Would try to bring the hole poorboyz crew, but damn its cold in an ftoy

I'll try to make it in #510.

I've never been to Golden Mtn but it looks fun. Harlan is 2 hrs for me. Sneedville/Chinquipin is awesome crawling but Jan 1 it would be wet/cold which makes things about impossible but still fun. Jellico is close for me too. Windrock is another to consider. Heard they have a lot of new stuff up there.(never been though)

Hot springs has awesome traction even in the wet and that's a huge bonus. Plus you can ride for two days and never see the same thing.

Hawk Pride is cool, never been to Jellico. Pretty much anything around here when wet is .... Nasty.

Do we need to do an official vote or something?

Who's 95% sure they can come?

do a poll, just about anything in tennesee i could come to and ride with someone seeing as how im rigless

If it were Hot springs i'd be in

Anywhere in Tn or Al im a maybe, i've been trying to convince myself I need to head out that way to try some of the east coast wheeling

Hot Springs is good wet or dry and that time of year lots of other places are "iffy".

AR is 12+ for me.
AL, KY, NC, or TN and I would be in.

Jellico would be a lot of fun.

Jan 1 your business shouldn't be terribly busy, take a few days off to play.:laughing:

Im in for Hot Springs

I have never wheeled hot springs, but I'll. Give it a shot, where the hell is it?

hot springs Arkansas. it is the superlift park

Hot Springs is very awesome. I would drive 12 hours here anytime.

Hawk Pride is really good. I'd drive 8ish here probably. Deffinty for THE 1st annual NYDR!!!

Our club already has a ride planned for HS in feb so they want to go HP new Years. I'm honestly wide open though.

I want to get as many rigs as possible together, and Hawk Pride is still a great place to ride and would be easy to manage a group there. Hot springs is huge and we'd probably ended up getting split up.

Poll added.
Well give it a few weeks and roll with that.

Please only vote if you are actually coming.

I'm going with Hawkpride... I have family in Killen and we do New Years down there sometimes so this would work out great for me...

I'm goin with hawk pride I always have a good time there and it is closer. I am saving up for hot springs in feb. HS is definatelly better in general but I couldn't go two times with only a month in-between 8hrs from here!

Gardendale. Your lucky I am willing to give up one day of deer hunting. If this is going to require more than that I will not be going.

Voted hot springs but the other place is always possible, wont know till it gets closer

Jan 1 your business shouldn't be terribly busy, take a few days off to play.:laughing:

The timing is perfect for me. I could make it any other year.


A four day wheeling trip planned each month until December and Family at Disney in November. Funds will be heavily limited at that point.

I will be voting for AL.:flipoff2:

I'll donate a keg if beer money was factored into anybodies expenses and am working on getting us a lower group rate too.


Anybody good enough to do some graphics for a shirt?

I asked the park manager at Superlift in Hot Springs about group rates and the following is his response.

"We are going to have some sort of discount that weekend anyway. Working on some other "entertainment" things too. Should be the standard "event" discount: $50 for three days for non-members half that for members"

I really wish we had better info and pics of Hawk Pride for those of you that have voted for that location but have never been there. There is simply no comparison with Superlift Park. When I was last there we didn't find many "trails" just obstacles. Fireroads with very short obstacles off to the sides. If this has changed please post up pics and info. If it hasn't then some of you will be dissappointed to have driven 8 hours or better to ride there. There were also no hookups, no restrooms or showers, no pavillion or convenience store on site, no gravel parking area, no lights............Just my .02 worth.

You're right fr the most part, but it's just like every other park near here. The "trails" arent really long, but there are plenty of "obsticales" to test your rig on.

For the purpose of this ride, if twice as many people can come to HP, the then that's what Im after. We already have a group goin to HS in Feb.

I'm looking for a large group for FToys and a location for the most to meet at a location in the middle.

HS is better, but quite a ride for most. Hell, I want to go to Johnson Valley :D

since it looks like there is interest in both parks, lets do this. for those of us who cant/wont drive to one park or the other, lets just have 2 rides. One at HS and one at HP. I know HP is out of the picture for me (the drive is just too far and you guys' description of it just seals the deal for me. Too far and not an awesome park. HS is only 6-7 hrs for us from my part of TX and is a sweet ass park with all the amenities. So if there is anyone who is not able to make the drive to HP and that is the one that wins, we can still meet up in Arkansas if you want. I am making arrangements to go there regardless.

I say the guy that came up with this idea and poll needs to call it a done deal and make plans for HP park.:D I'll be there. May even have a new rig.....

Coming back from Vacation on the 31st. Dunno if I could make it, but had to post up anyway to keep up with it. Haven't been to HP yet, but would like to go.

May even have a new rig.....

???

Well, I was hoping go get a few more votes in, but if we can get 8-10 ftoys to HP plus 7?? More Toyotas, I'll call it good!

I'd like to ride some n Friday, I don't know though. Will be there that night fo sho. I like to camp, BBQ, and drink beer. Some of the other TachRoadians will get a room in town Im sure.

I'll be in my 4seater if somebody needs a ride. No dickheads though, you can ride withsomeone else.


Who wants a shirt :D

I say the guy that came up with this idea and poll needs to call it a done deal and make plans for HP park.:D I'll be there. May even have a new rig.....

I second that.

Will start trying to plan for the event as soon as it is a done deal.

Hope to bring a new car also. But, i have a badass F Toy if its not complete.

HAWK PRIDE Jan 1st 2011 Bitches!!!!!

Bring your FToy or any other Toyotas that don't suck!

I'll work on getting us a good group rate nailed down.

There are local hotels but I plan on camping Friday and Saturday because I like to camp.

How about a XXXL. Managing instead of working is increasing my clothing size annually.:flipoff: :laughing:

I will start scheduling and follow up.

There is an off chance I would have #515 ready to ride by then...

here's a writeup I did of Hawk Pride I did a while back

http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=827669

I was thinking for shirts we could get the Hendrix "Got Birfield" shirt and put our event specific artwork on back???

http://www.hendrixmotorsports.com/id13.html

looks like we can get a shirt and all weekend park fee for around $30-$35 if we can get 20 people to commit! I'll bring a keg!

I've already got 5 coming with me:
1. Me
2. Adam
3. Eric
4. Jonathan
5. Joey

Who else is coming, how many rigs are you bringing, and do you want a shirt?

here are a few videos. They got a new website and alot of the old videos that were posted didn't make it.

http://hawkpridemountainoffroad.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12&sid=b431841fbe44ec379f931fcb627be08e

there's a ton on YouTube, just search "Hawk Pride"

Count me in, how bout another t shirt, mabey just the x on the front? the whole got..... is kinda played out.

Could do the Hendrix "X" on frnt pocket and maybe have a big x on the back and a ftoy crawling up it ??

South East FToy Roundup. SEFTR
New Years Day FToy Ride NYDFR
New Years FToy Roundup NYFTR
SE FToy Jamboree SEFTJ

it's needs an official name to put on the shirt too!
I like East Coast FToy Roundup ECFTR or SouthEast FToy Roundup

buy a shirt for the East Coast FToy Champ so he can afford to going riding on New Years!

Hey dont hold me to it, but most of the poorboys should be there. that would take up 5 more slots. I would be realy suprised if z and spencer didnt make it also. John are you still planning something for this?

Yep

What day/time everybody planning to get there? With New Years being on Saturday thinking some of the guys from further away might not be able to make Saturday in time to ride. I'll be traveling the week between Xmas and New Years but can probably be there Sat am.

I'll be there Friday lunchish isthe plan. Want to ride that day and shoot fireworks that night.


I may not be in an ftoy.... Total sell out...

Well i'll be in what started life as Ftoy #521 but bears little resemblence to one now.

Hey Heeps are not allowed on this ride. :shaking:

Stick a Cruiser hood and grill on it. Nobody will know.:D

Also I see the poll is tied with HS. We gonna do HP one day then haul over to HS the next?

Mine will have a Tacoma grill before his truck is fixed :D :D

were going to HS in feb for 4 days, but you pay fuel and I'm game anywhere :D

I already had plans to be at Hot Springs this weekend. Have fun at HP!

Now Hot Springs is ahead. :D I don't think there are actually 21 people that will show up regardless of the location ......:shaking:

were going to clayton OK instead of HS. The pics you guys kept posting up made it look like it wasnt worth the 10hr drive

Looks like we've got 5-7 Toyota trucks/ buggies coming from just my area.

I wish we could get more ftoys together, but maybe we can try Harlan at the Toyota event there?? Or hot springs in Feb??

Hell, now that i have a buggy that runs, as long as I have fuel money I'll
be riing 2-3 month, so just let me know!

I know we will be at the harlan event in april.

April sound warm. i like warm.

I would say Hot Springs is worth a 10 hour drive. Best place I have wheeled so far.

April sound warm. i like warm.

Not always so in Harlan! But April does sound better.

i meant to say hawks pride didnt look like it was worth the 10 hrs from southeast texas. we were going to go to hot springs, but clayton seems to be just as fun and we havent been that many times yet.

So not to sound like a prick, but are there any f toys going, and is it still at hawk pride?

i meant to say hawks pride didnt look like it was worth the 10 hrs from southeast texas. we were going to go to hot springs, but clayton seems to be just as fun and we havent been that many times yet.

hawk pride is only 2.5 hours for me, not sure if I would drive 10+ plus hours for it.

I'll be in Hot Springs, been wanting to do the Fire & Ice ride for the last 2 years. Would like to get over to HP sometime this coming year too.

And Clayton is on my list for the spring.
