New genius plan for beating desertoy in KOH '09! - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Brian Ellinger · 10-17-2008, 03:37 PM

We figured it out! We'll be doing snow dances (very similar to rain dances) for the next few months, while thinking of JV. This way it will drop below 60 degrees, and John will get too scared poking his head out, to come out of his hole (yes like a ground hog).

This will give us a distinct advantage since we'll be "training" in sub freezing weather, the 40-50 degrees with be like a day at the beach! We'll only have to worry about Pook, making LCQ... Havent figured that out yet.

Wont work.

Hobbie tried something simular, and the results were terrible.
The sooner you accept that John James is gonna beat you, the better off you will be.

I have a hard time with John James being Ftoy King Cheese. I mean superheros are supposed to be menacing creatures. Superman is all ripped and strikingly handsome, same for Batman, all those pro wrestlers look like Greek Gods, most sports heros are superhunky and i'm sorry to say that John James is more teddy bear like. You just want to rub his belly or something? You need a muscle suit John like a superhero maybe a cape. Maybe i'm just tired and buzzed?

Just need a night race. Everyone knows John disappears just after the sun goes down

that might just work Brian. I can race in the rain, wind, cold (I mean 50deg cold), but not snow or freezing cold. You better start your snow dancing now though cause we are racing in JOHNSON VALLEY. It is more likely to be 100deg than 20. Actually, now that I think about it, I have seen it both ways in the same day before

Actually, I just wear bulky cloths John. Believe it or not I have a super hero body, I just didn't want to further intimidate you guys

How long have you had these feelings about men

ToolBox Guy · 10-20-2008, 11:24 AM

Actually, if anyone needs to know how to beat John at KOH '09, just give me a call.

I pretty much took care of it last year.

Mr Stubs · 10-20-2008, 11:57 AM

Just take the spare fuel pump out of his tool box!

Did one dance last night, and doing another tonight. We're prepping everyday. Im hoping for that freak snow storm! Or at least 20 degrees.

And yeah its JV, but we can hope!

I thought he took care of it himself....

By getting lost.

Air Ride · 10-20-2008, 08:40 PM

Ha I just started Dtoy on a new training program he has to sit in the walk-in at the local 7-11 and drink beer for 3 hours a day until the race.

After dark? You going to pick him up and take him home when he falls asleep 45 minutes into this new training routine?

ya john is gunning for me this year since i past him at the last minute after the very last trail. i played catch up the whole day, and then i got lost and then he past me, and then he got lost and then i passed him back, lol. what a great race!

desertoy · 10-27-2008, 08:36 AM

Ya, I'm gunning for you alright Hobie. Screw going for the win. It's AWN between the F-Toys.
I put a new radiator in this weekend and a new fuel pump and filter. The plan is for new tires and suspension after the Woman's comp. I'm getting ready.

Brian Ellinger · 10-29-2008, 09:25 AM

We're doing rad, suspension, steering, fuel work, etc. And yeah its awn, maybe I need to practice out there in january!

desertoy · 10-29-2008, 09:53 AM
