Big Creek Training Grounds for 5/23

[izzyandsue]

Got you on the list. We are up to 7 now.

As of right now, I'm in for the 23rd. The wife wants me to do this, so it wasn't a hard sell. I also have a verbal "Yeah, I can probably do that" from @psbarger (not a firm commitment, but I know he's interested). Also, @Beau Diddly , @ErikinSC , @TailsWCU , @collk22 , @mmacpherson , and possibly @dbenke sounded interested at our last meeting but I don't know who can commit to that weekend. Several of us will be contingent on not receiving debilitating damage at GSMTR...

Just a thought, you might want to post up on the UC board... I know a lot of them like to wheel at Uwharrie.

I'm interested in going, but would like to know the details.

 

[izzyandsue]

Tim, best details. Can give you are here https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/bi...aining-grounds-in-uwharrie-club-event.839068/.

$35 per truck, private site used to train military teams, guided wheeling by awesome sports from Uwharrie Offroad School (Scott, Darin, Mike). Being private, there will be no one else there, no yobos flying around.

I'm in to go on the 23rd. My first off roading experience, so I'll be a blank slate...

 

[RedHeadedStepChild]

I will be back from Disney by then, and I just fitted the 4Runner with a new 2-1/2" O.M.E. system, Sonoran steel beefy lower rear control arms, adjustable pan-hard track bar, and (if the ever show up) WabFab quick disconnect sway bar end links.
I'll be looking to try them out...just need to get all the appropriate stamps on the kitchen pass...

 

[izzyandsue]

Good deal! have you in the list

 

[RedHeadedStepChild]

...And for the wife, you can prove she doesnt love you with a simple test (use at your own risk):

1. On a cold cold morning, lock both your wife and dog in the garage with no heat
2. Wait 2-3 hours
3. Unlock the door, and see who of the 2 is very happy to see you
4. QED, dog loves you and wife doesn't

BTW way, you were absolutely right! The dog was MUCH more excited.

@Izzyandsue could you post the meet up time and a Google Maps URL? Thanks!

 

[izzyandsue]

will do once we get closer and I get the info from Scott. We always meet up at his school across the El Dorado Outpost.

 

[RedHeadedStepChild]

Izzy, when you talk to Scott, could you get details on the camping situation. As I currently understand it, we can camp out on the UORTC grounds if we're there for an event such as this, but I don't know where to set up and how early we can roll in. I'll probably be looking to get in between 6:00 and 8:00 pm Friday, so I need to know if I should be setting up in the national forest or over at the training grounds.
Thanks for putting this together.

 

[izzyandsue]

Will do Jim

 

[izzyandsue]

Gang, for those going, Scott asked that I managed the money part. We can do that either by paypal to me or bring cash on 5/23. I am paying Scott the whole amount and getting reimbursed by youseguys, basically. Also have some release forms I can send you to bring on the day. I will attach forms to the first post later. Thank you.

 

[Roxx]

I will be a maybe on this. I hope i can make it

 

[RedHeadedStepChild]

Just downloaded the forms, thanks for putting them up there.
For those on the trip, if you haven't read the safety guidelines, required equipment includes:

Fire extinguisher
Roll cage for any open topped rig
Recovery point front & rear

I suspect we all have the last two, but not everyone has the first.

Anyway, Izzy, what's your PP so I can send you $$?

 

[izzyandsue]

izzy.sanchez@lsprofessionals.com is paypal send it as a "gift" so the suckers dont tax me...

And you can camp there the night before, have instructions from Scott on how to do that.

 

[ST8ROCKS]

@Izzyandsue I have 2 more coming from the 4runner forum. Jeremy Wilson and James Philips will be PayPal-ing you soon.

 

[izzyandsue]

Got them

Hey Izzy, my friend Mark Feldman will be joining us. He may be driving his 80 or he might ride with me, not sure yet.
