very good turn out :celebrate: (by saturday evening)
Friday afternoon to Saturday morning>>> rained off & on (tent camping sucks in the rain)
Saturday, the "man made" coarses were busy all day, and "Henry's Crack" saw a lot of action.
the last 50 feet of the crack was rutted out and several rigs ended up on their side, including "Burrt" who, after a quick assessment, powered through until all 4 tires were back on the ground. a dodge pick up however, spent hours clogging the crack, when,, after several attempts to go forward or backward ended in a broken steering gearbox, the truck was abandoned to go find parts.
to my knowledge> no one else broke anything.
the evening festivities, both Friday & Saturday, carried on well into the morning hours.
i can not believe the rangers didn't put a stop to the madness :drunkbuds:
:drunkbuds: :drunkbuds: :drunkbuds: :drunkbuds: :drunkbuds: :drunkbuds: :drunkbuds: :drunkbuds: :drunkbuds:
the "hootin" and the "hollerin" just kept going as shards of fiery hot, broken glass rained
down, sobe bomb, after sobe bomb :lol3:
fire balls shooting up from the center of our camp were seen from the space station
(i saw that on the news this morning :mrgreen: )
though the weather sucked, the folks at IOR put on one hell of a party :Thumb:

special thanks:
Dirty LJ for the raffle, most of the sobe bombs, and the participation plaques(that was a nice touch.
Beck*A*Poo for getting everybody's IOR stickers to them
And, i think it was Brian who brought the "bigass" BBQ

i went to bed early each night, so i'd like to hear other folks versions of what all happened :clap:

here are a couple of the sobe bombs from saturday night

I rented a big motorhome and came up Saturday at around noon. Proceeded to start a party in my motorhome within minutes of arriving. Everyone got shitfaced really fast from drinking apple pie. Then everyone cooked/ate dinner and sobered up. Then after dinner and a little wheeling, ended up getting drunk for a second time and partying till 4am. Jay C got a custom wrap on her XJ as a reward for passing out early.

As for the little details................well you should have been there :brows:

GJ and TJer were FUCKKKKKKKED UPPPPPP :lol3:

First time to an infectious run but I had a great time! Got drunk as hell both nights. Didn't get much wheeling in as I kept missing the groups ha. Met a lot of great people! And even know that damn wind kept up all day I had a great time playing in the course and wash!

Pretty sure I'm going to the meet and great this Thursday! Same kinda drinking!?


Again I want to think everyone for the great time! Didn't know anyone out there but every one was still very welcoming and caring, awesome group of people!

Ya I am hoping so also because if they do then the new ones will be up for sale and I either way I am going to be shopping for coilover conversions for it. and be doing some bracing around the mounts and rear start running it hard
