hehe
Hey could you post up with a week or so of notice on these things? If you go back to Farmington I might be able to fly out.
Are you guys competing at Katemcy?

Yep, two pairs of boots...

Yes, we will be at Katemcy and then in So. Cal (LA) for our final one of the season depending on SuperCrawl.

I think we could fly to LA for the cost of gas to K-rocks

OK, update from CA....

first Troy broke a CTM u-joint after laying it aginst a tree and tryiny to back out - it ended up taking out both shafts and the ball joints.

Now we only have the TJ competing - Matt ended up breaking the pinion gear out of the third member. The bolted on third member comletly ripped out of the third member.

we ended up fixing the CJ, we took Doug K back to the hotel room with a girl that he just met, and we are now fixing to head out to the bar...

EDIT - Doug is sleeping is the back of Hal's Dodge with "his girl"...

Later,
Scott

I can't believe he ripped that out of a 9"! :eek: That's one for the wall at Rudy's!

Do ya'll think the bolts worked loose or something?

much better today... We timed out in two courses but finished the other three with very low points.

Broke the front driveshaft but was able to weld it and fix it up in our break time time...

more to come - time to go down to the Casino in Reno :beer:

stinks like sex in here...

did the rear dshaft bottom out to bust the 9?
Sounds like fun!

When I say the back of the Dodge. I mean the bed of the Dodge... She even had a grease stain on the back of her jacket from the gooseneck ball... She was one of the course medics (EMT)

Anyways - the Ford 9 ripped the pinion out while attempting to climb a hill in second gear, it wasn't too bad, just a weak stock 3rd member.

Yes, Matt was running Troys TJ.

Doug missed his 7:00am flight back to texas from Reno monday morning after we all stayed out too late. He got another room and had to wait till tuesday morning to fly out :flipoff2:

I will get the pics on offroadrepublic later today hopefully.

Oh - the results: we were one place behind Hal, would have beat him if we just pulled thru the gates on the three courses from the first day that we didn't make it to because we were broken. If we could make it thru a weekend without breaking we would place pretty high...

Are you talking about how it's humping that rock?

redcagepatrol
08-27-2004, 09:00 AM
we humped that same rock... He had a chevy fuel injection swap on the stock4 banger and it ran like ass. Said that nobody had really done it before - he didn't make it to the next course...

Fredo

There's a guy named Ian in North Texas Binders who has done that swap, and his too runs like arse. It's not his fault though. The guy who set it up for him is an assclown. He likes to use copper tubing for fuel lines and he puts the knock sensor in the valve cover. But hey, I'm sure Ian was happy to at least pay for the work he had done.

I just can't figure out why you guys keep flopping! :D

bburris

...because Scott isn't enough of a ballast. :flipoff2: :D

I have a valid excuse for that course - they ran the truck in front of us without letting us watch and then they wouldn't let us walk the course. :mad:
After we finially figured out the first obstacle (without flopping) we ran out of time and then broke the front driveshaft weld trying to get off the course. I will be better prepared for another obstacle like that one in the future...

EDIT: from the scores, that was the second hardest course out there.
