FlatNasty TornadoAlley Event Info

[tornadoalleycruiser]

Ok.. Chef's spoken with the owner, and here's the scoop
Owner, Ron Maximoff, owner of www.flatnasty.net
850 or so acres, 23 trails, 50+ miles of trails, and he says you'll
never get all of them run in one weekend.
No water or electric, but they do have well serviced porta-johns.
Details of possibility of an event or just overall use as a club outing
Cost would be ~$30 per vehicle for 3 days,
Onsite food options if we have an event, they have a guy who will do
BBQ for $7 per plate, and will pack lunches too.
They can provide trail guides as well, no charge.
They also want to help with rafffle prizes. whoo hoo!!!!
The Current River runs thru their site, and the canoe rental folks will
actually pickup and drop off there at no extra charge.

So.. Chef and I wanna go check it out, prerun some stuff, get more info, etc. we as a club can do a really easy event here, I know a guy that helps with TLCA insurance, a simple possibility is an open event, we're not sure on if they charge for camping or not yet. So.. Thoughts, ideas? I'm pretty busy but if we wrap up stuff soon and make a date, we can get a simple signup in the trails etc and get insurance etc lined up. So anyone wanna prerun? Texas is 1st weekend in March, I have a bachelor party in March approx 17th and a wedding the following weekend. but I wanna go check it out..
Chris and Mike? you two wanna see about coming up sometime soon? Whoelse would be interested?
Anyone interested? Discuss! please.. This is an easy way to put our club on the map in a big way!
Thanks all! EC

Gary, that's one of the funniest smiley's I've ever seen.. And I just had to go look at how far it is.. looks to be about 230 miles from Blue Springs. but it has floating! mmmmm.. YEah it's not all that close but not bad! considering i'm used to driving to Moab!

 

[66fj40x2]

Looks like about 400 miles for me ..... plus I can't get through Springfield without stopping at Bass Pro .... so it'll be an 8 hour drive :hillbilly

I'll be at Katemcy March 4-5, I've got a doctors appointment the 17th (probably shouldn't make plans for that weekend but I can if that's what works). After that I'm free til Easter weekend.

 

[trainrech]

I'd like to do the pre-run as well.

2/18 - free
2/25 - gone
3/4 - gone
3/11 - free (but possible wrenching weekend?)
3/18 - free
3/25 - busy

I also will either need to get the york situation straightened out or backtrack to either the new alternator or back to the stock in the meantime.

I ran a little there enroute to Clayton last Nov....you'll enjoy it

keep me posted on the date you pre-run, I need an excuse to actually finish putting the 40 back together....

Some Year I Gotta Get Ya'll Out Ta Cathouse.....

C Ya, Don

 

[Bob_Garrett]

I'd be interested in doing the pre-run.

Once I get wheels on the mini, anyway.

 

[Chef]

I still wanna do the Event in October. It's so pretty here then, and the TLCA event schedule is pretty full for the year already in terms of not competing with everyone else. Does anyone prefer the weekend of Oct 1 over the weekend of Oct 8, or vice versa?

Pre-run:
May I suggest an April Fool's Pre-Run

We might well want to set a rain date too...

 

[66fj40x2]

No preference either way Sir.

I'm in for the pre-run then as well.

The only possible hang-up with me would be the doc's decision on my neck/back..... but I don't plan on that slowing me down much :hillbilly

 

[Bob_Garrett]

Weekend of Oct 1st is better for me. Mom's birthday is the 7th.

 

[trainrech]

April 1st for a pre-run sounds ok to me.

September 29/30 & October 1 for the event sounds ok to me as well (I believe this is the weekend you were referring to?)

 

[Dmidlfing4]

I'm goin to the GCC Poker run April 1st. So ya'll have now hear...
