Gordy's on the 15th

[jstncse]

We are headed out to Gordy's Saturday if anybody is interested.

It will be an early start. 7:00am in Lemitar, so leaving Albuquerque no later than 6:00. If anybody wants to go let me know.

I'm in....see you at Lemitar at 7:00---what CB channel???

Channel 4, Looks like 7 rigs for sure but only 1 Land Cruiser

Well it is a FSB run, so I guess I will just enjoy it.

Holy Crap, I don't think I have ever tore up this much stuff in one day. Even when I laid it on its side it was only one panel.

Let me recap the carnage for the day. This isn't just mine but it is a long list
right front fender smashed(mine)
Right rear fender smashed(mine)
Left rear Fender smashed(mine)
2 tires on 2 different vehicles(1 on mine)
Drag link in need of field repair
2 rear bumpers smashed
1 tail light smashed (mine)
Broken spring shakle
countless other minor body modifications

And way more fun than 15 people should be allowed to have. I left the camera in the truck so I don't have many pics.










Found a pic of a FSB


I also found a smashed brake line on my rear axle that has to be replaced.

Speaking of which, we're the hell were you?

In hindsight my biggest problem was the new slave cylinder that I installed just before taking off. It moved the engagement point up on the pedal about 2" and made driving a whole new experience. It was like I didn't even have an Orion 4:1. I would ease in on the clutch a little to hold on top of a rock and go to far, then fall to the ground only to kill it trying to take off. There were several times were I would literally jump the frontend off the ground. The roll cage also give me an air of invincibility that led to a few mishaps.
