For those of you who are coming Sunday, we will meet in the parking lot at 9 am, but we won't have early registration that day. If you checked in Saturday, you won't have anything to worry about.

Also, just an FYI, if you check in on Saturday and plan on staying Sunday to wheel as well, don't forget to pay for both days on Saturday. Just wanted to remind everyone, so there is no miscommunication, that the price is $30 for two days.

Just a heads up for those going next weekend. Do not do the tubes. Go up and around. The drop off is pretty bad right now. We just got back today and one of our club members got a lil hung up trying the tubes and toasted his fan clutch. Wish I could make it back, but too many other obligations, have fun.

My buddy with the Samurai said that's when it takes real balls to exit the tubes fast enough to not get hung up.........


.......I'll take his word for it.

Default Mid Day Friday

I am planning to leave early Friday and set up camp at Summers and then get registered and hopefully do a quick trail run or so.

Anyone else going to get there early on Friday.

Cheers
Don
