I overheard that the obstacle course on monday requires a vehicle to have driveshaft loops, battery kill device, etc... I have watched this event the last couple of years and have seen some without the required safety equipment. Anyone know about how strict they really are?

[jeep304]

You may have seen an exebition run.......IN GENERAL THEY ARE VERY STRICT ON OBSTACLE CARS....mainly because of possible injury...I do work as a tech
director, and at times it can be a tuff inspection...the items you named are on the top of the list.....Nowa

[94Dodge Truggy]

I could be an inspector. I saw a cherokee 2 years ago running with no doors, loops, battery disco. and a standard seatbelt run.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Maybe I will throw a strap around the driveshafts, paint the strap silver and call it done? Do the inspectors take bribes or donations?

I might see about going Sunday. That Big Eliminator looks like it would be a blast to watch.

[94Dodge Truggy]

The eliminator hill is a whole lotta fun. The obstacle course is my favorite though. What time does the eliminator hill on sunday begin? I believe the parade in town is today at 6.

[carwash]

i can recall being there well after dark watching the eliminator... i recall at least 11 pm one year...

Site says the eliminator starts at noon. Gonna be a beautiful day too. Mid 80s. Not sure I can swing a day off work to go Monday cause I thought about it. That looks kewl too. :D

[GPER]

Had to work Saturday, but I'm ready to go today.:D

[GPER]

Well I am toasted well done and tried the video setting on my little camera and this is what I wound up with.

I should have shot longer but I have no clue how much I could record.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Great footage gper. It definitely was a bit hotter than the projected 83 degrees.

[tjjeepjeep]

I avoided the well done setting, settling more for a lightly toasted setting. ;) It was a blast! Went with my hubby and Truggy. Hooked up with Armstrong there. :D This meant I was the only one in the group whose name wasn't Scott. Pics to come...

[xj-up]

Didn't see you guys but, got toasted also. We had a good time again this year.:D

[carwash]
