WANTED: F.B. Clone, for hard work and low pay - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

H8monday · 07-30-2003, 06:58 PM

Well I know there isnt really another Fat Bastard out there, but then again Im no Mike Shaffer, and my rig sure aint no Diablo.
But I just found out yesterday that Maniac cant make the CalROCS Fernely, Aug, 16-17 event.
So Im looking for someone with rock crawling experience, to team up with.
The work is easy, the pay is great and everyday will be a picnick.

Who's the " fat bastard " ? Man I thought we were all friends here?

Run dog · 07-30-2003, 09:10 PM

Damn H8, i got an idea. let's spot 4-each other! Or we can go without rock guides. Good luck, there are alot of wheelers that want a crack at spotting in a COMP.

You dont know who FB is? Damn youd better be very carefull if your ever loitering around at a Taco Bell,..he could easily sneak up on you and put you in his belly.

Imkunfused · 07-30-2003, 10:43 PM

Hey H8, since someone else turned me down *cough*daren*cough* id be up for spotting, but chances are we will be short on judges if i move over to the other spectrum of the comp.. If you can convince Rich to give me up this comp, im game.

What are you fawkin crazy,..I roll everytime you and my rig are on the same course. I'd feel like I'd beeen through the spin cycle after the 1st day.

Ill keep you in mind but I would rather not deplete Richs limited number of good judges. Honestly I think it would hurt the event to lose a judge with your experience this close to an event. You are a good judge on the tough courses.
You could look the other way if I hit a cone though if you wanna feel like part of the team.

Imkunfused · 07-30-2003, 11:00 PM

Just because you cant handle to be on the same course as me, doesnt mean you have to roll off of it evertyime. When i say rock and roll when you start, i dont mean to hit every rock when you roll

But you have to admit, when you do roll on my course, you can still go, because you always land on your wheels

Big Rich · 07-31-2003, 03:42 PM

Judges don't spot, not in the middle of the season....

Rich

maybe next year.

TONY K · 07-31-2003, 09:07 PM

Maybe he'll turn out to be a better spotter then a judge.

Chris Geiger · 07-31-2003, 09:18 PM

One problem with using a Judge to spot is, when you get even close to a cone he will, by nature raise both hands over his head and shout CONE at the top of his lungs, then he will march over to the score keeper and make sure he wrote it down!

Man, that's the truth ...
My new spotter Mike Bulloch, a three year veteran RCAA judge, instinctively just jumps right in there when there's a dispute.
The good thing though, is that since he's been on the other side so long he knows where the line is between opinion and a heated argument ... and doesn't cross it ...

I sure hope you do come to SuperCrawl, Jeff.
What promoter wouldn't want to have you on their roster!
They should even give you top billing ... guaranteed balls-to-the- wall action and entertainment!

BTT

Thanks for all of the PM's and responses so far.

If anyone else is interested in spotting next weekend, lemme know.

Contrary to the rumors,...I really havent killed or maimed any spotters as of yet.
