You gonna have your rig at the benefit again this year?

AFTERSHOCK151 · 07-25-2009, 01:29 PM

carwash · 07-26-2009, 12:07 AM

i'm doing my best... if the stars align just right etc, there may be a 3% chance it will be there.

AFTERSHOCK151 · 07-26-2009, 10:29 AM

Wish I could help you but know nothing about propane injection. If it was alcohol injected (like Sarge)

then maybe I could help. Anyway hope you can bring it down.
What day are you thinkning about going to Gravel?

Pater you coming down? You need a key?

Jim

AFTERSHOCK151 · 08-07-2009, 01:37 PM

Only 2 weeks away can't wait. Carwash you should bring the Yeti down and put it in the show Sunday it should win it all.

Jim

reminder .. this weekend....

carwash · 08-24-2009, 01:09 PM

Look for me saturday night, in the dark, crawling on the rocks... should be a good show as i don't have my jeep legs back yet. Thanks sarge and Jim!

Hard to get used to long travel suspension after wheeling a rail buggy for a few years.

sarge · 08-25-2009, 08:06 AM

I was down at the course last night , It is the same as last year . I dont see any real problem areas for you Mike . I got a few spy shots on my phone as well hehehehehe!!!

buckeyezuk · 08-25-2009, 08:19 AM

I have not been in a long time but i plan on going down this weekend and playing on the rocks. looking forward to meeting some of you.

yellowjacket · 08-27-2009, 09:09 PM

ill look yall up down there. wish my rig was ready for the night crawl!

buckeyezuk · 08-27-2009, 11:34 PM

Does anyone know the class breakdown or rules for the classes. i heard it was invitation only. is this true? what time it starts? is there a entry fee?

carwash · 08-28-2009, 01:16 AM

yes invitation only this year. should all start 9ish i think.

tjjeepjeep · 08-28-2009, 07:34 AM

See ya'll there!

buckeyezuk · 08-28-2009, 07:44 AM

OK. guess that makes my mind up for me. That seems odd. Did they have too big of a turn out or something last year? Or maybe they dont want an outsider coming in and making them look silly on the rocks?

carwash · 08-28-2009, 07:57 AM

There's not enuf to time to make it an open event i guess. They can't start til after flat drags are done, and have to be done by a certain time.

sarge · 08-28-2009, 08:48 AM

The rock crawl is just starting to take off , You have to understand that Gravelrama is a Sand Drag Event , not a rock crawl or obstical course or junoir drag event . They do these things to bring in more people and have more things to do . East Coast Sand Drag rules state that they can not start ANY event until the flat drags are DONE. This means the rock crawl could start at any time on Sat. evening --- could start at 5 pm could start at mid-night. They limit the number of vehicles because if it does start at midnight they can get all of them through the event and not run all night. Most of the guys running the event will have started there day very early in the morning at the flat drags.

My hats off to the IOK guys

, they work there asses off for weeks putting on this event.

buckeyezuk · 08-28-2009, 11:20 AM

With the rule that stands about no other event starting till after the sand drags are done and it being a sand drag event, it doesnt sound good for the rock crawl guys in the future at gravelrama either. cant see sand drag guys changing there rules for rock crawling. i was hoping to see a local rock crawling event gain popularity and grow but i guess it will have to happen at a different event other than gravelrama. You are right i bet there is a ton of work behind the scenes to make the show happen.

jfiscus · 08-28-2009, 12:28 PM

There are other dates where there are rock crawl only events at the location, gravelrama is the "main" yearly event that is predominantly for the drag racers.

kb9qdi · 08-28-2009, 08:47 PM

I'll be there Saturday night will Hill Top watching the Crawl.
