scratch me off the list. something came up

i will be there most likely sat morning into sunday.  this is my first utility quad...racer before....so im new to the whole mud thing but lovin it.  just optimistic at points lol. 

 Don't think I will be racing this year. I will be on crutches when I'm not riding. Kinda sucks for me for awhile. I am off work until mid July.

This is my first time at the Nats., getting there mid day Thursday and leaving Sunday. Just 2 of us coming and planning to tent camp. Any recomendations for first timers other than standard riding, camping, spare parts, tools, BEER, tylenol & $$$$? 

 Thanks in advance,

Bring whatever parts you may have. You never know. Fortunately there will be vendors on hand with most everything needed for the simple fixes and some of the more difficult ones. Tools are a yes but if you are staying with our group we will have almost every tool you could possibly need. Last year I welded up a trailer, a frame on a PoPo and an output shaft on a Monster creation.

Bring all the beer you think you need as Jacksonville is in a dry county. Tylenol is optional. If you stay buzzing the whole time it's not necessary.

As to tent camping you are more than welcome to set up inside our compound. Its safer if you set up where there are trucks / trailers creating a barrier. The drunks can't run you over that way.

My cell is 281-935-5564 and I will be up there on Wed Morning. Other cell is 713-775-1684

As it gets closer I will create a master list of who is coming and when they are arriving. You may be able to tag along with someone coming our way.

Sounds good David.  I do plan on tent camping so i will set up inside the compound!  I will be getting there on Wed morning as early as possible.    

David,

I appreciate the hospitality an we will take you up on "camping in the compound". We are from San Antonio but I have to be in Cleburne Thursday AM on business. I expect to be there by 4:00 PM Thursday to sign up for the poker run.

If there is anything we can bring to help the group let us know??

How is the generator situation?? I have a 15KW generator on my P/U but was considering throwing my little gas machine on the trailer so I can move it away from camp?? If you guys have RV's that need power I will run the truck and bring 30A & 50A RV boxes.

Here is my contact info.

Wow thats a lot of generator. I have a 6K I run my camper off of and most othereds do the same. I would think the small one would cost less to run and do about the same thing. At $3.++ a gallon fuel is a consideration now.

Did you look at the map on pg 1? If so we will be against the woods on the far side. oppsite of the main road.

About where the a is at on the loblolly campa area map. Clear as mud yet?

David,

I think we will be able to find yall based on the map on page 1. The 15KW generator is PTO driven and mounted on the frame rail of my Ford but it burns alot of $4.00 a gallon diesel fuel, I think i'll make room on the trailer for the little generator. How is the fire wood situation out there?? Should we load some fire wood to bring or is there plenty to pick up at the park?

Once again, I sure appreciate yall's help & hospitality.

Mike

There is wood there but I have never built a fir at Nats. To much partying going on for that. lol

If I could afford the gas to get there and back I would be going.

We plan on getting there Friday night. We have 4 peeps, 3 ATV's and one travel trailer.  Will we be able to get a spot for the travel trailer coming up that late?  If not, you guys have any recommendations????

Skinny      ~12 peeps / tents / 8 atvs / Thurs late / Moon Dance Mountain

Guys,

What do ya think of this weather?? Im thinking about leaving the enclosed trailer at the house and just bringing the little flat bed.

7,000 # Ford & 8,000# anchor (with no ground clearance) may not be a good combination??

We will be there Thursday regardless!!
