Good question, I have seen some core wheeling videos that were nicely made from back in the day maybe from the 90's? Whats the story.

CORE has been around for awhile. Two local guys decided to start a off road club to meet some new people interested in the sport. In 2002, they filed paperwork and formed Cincinnati Off Road Enthusiasts. I know there were some nice vids done in the early years. Believe there was a CORE DVD that covered 2002 and 2003 runs (of which I can't find my copy).
Alot happened in the 5 years before I joined in 2007, some of which if anyone wants to expand on they can. I've been Secretary since 2008, when there were 15 paid members and 50 forum members. Now in 2011, we now have 42 paid members and I activate at least 5 new forum members a week. What else ya want to know?

It all started when two fags met in a bar and offered to buy everyone a few rounds.
-- Ok, that may not be entirely fare, but bizarrely mostly true. And I still watch my 2002 video a couple times a year. It's the closest thing I get to wheeling anymore. My 2003 video is MIA and I'm pretty certain partial video was made in 2004 but never finished. Last edited by Bear Chow; 11-11-2011 at 10:08 AM. |

The server crash made the registry of members more current than what it really is. I have been a member for what seems like an eternity. :o
I believe the founders of the club were a few local yahoos lookin for oil and needed a rig to take them into uncharted territory to prospect. They set off to build swamp buggies in order to cover terrain and pack supplies in. I may have a picture or 2 of the founders from way back. I will look for them!

I don't recall all the charter members:
Jeff Smith, Geoff Patterson, Mike Carwash, Paul Kelemen, Tony lastnamecan'trecall. The original charter is out there somewhere, we had to recruit to get enough signatures to apply for the registration. Those pictures above where way after our charter, the biggest tires we ran where 39.5 and they where huge. I've got some old pics somewhere I'll have to dig up. |

No problem. You forgot all about Wayne. He had a CJ 5 on 33s that went everywhere and never lifted or spun a tire.

No I didn't think he was a charter member, I'll never forget Wayne. Crackling over the radio. "What's Wayne doing climbing pink rock bypass, did he forget he was towing a trailer?"
Twenty minutes later, "You made that look easy." "Yeah, I completely forgot I was towing a trailer." lol. That and d d d d dmmmmm the hat, can't ever forget the hat. |

I think at one everyone wore a Wayne hat. So what does everyone want to know about besides Wayne hats?

Was ther ever a guy on here from cincy that use to go livingston ky that had a yellow rail buggy and I think his name was Laney or Lonnie or somthing like that. Years ago when I had a rail buggy I use to always see him at livingston. I think he would go out of town for work and take his buggy with him and ride at livingston on his down time. I dont remember what kind of work he did but I guess it was close to livingston. This would of been around 1998-2003.. seems like i remember him getting waist deep in a mudhole and pouring gas in there with him and lighting it and callin it a redneck hottub.. lol

In the early days we had a couple regular rails that would show up one guys name was Paul, that was an easy one for me to remember. The other one made an appearance on the 2002 video. Maybe I'll watch it tonight and read the credits at the end.
