Is this the one off bollinger canyon road? If so that place is the **** I have done quite a bit of late night gorilla crawling there.

Damn, I am still recovering from the day even now as we speak.

I didn't get much sleep the night before the event and then standing out in that sun really destroyed me. I actually had to leave the Bean early because of it. I was totally wasted. I went out with Lucie to have dinner and did everything I could to not pass out in the booth. Once I got home I fell asleep on the couch until about 3 in the morning where I moved to the bed. I feel like **** today. If this is what getting old is like, count me out.

I will try and head home at lunch to put up the scores. It was a great showing and the courses were fun. I can't get over the bridges that Dean made. They really were a challenge and proved to be a point killer on that 2nd wobble bridge.

Thanks again to everyone that showed. I must now return to my sun burn wound licking.

-Sam

Yes I cant agree more, it was a great time. The sun was a killer though did not want to get out of bed for work this morning.

It was fun. Dean, Dustin, George, and myself were out there till the sun set. We got on the road home around 8:30. It sucked having to be at work at 4:00 this morning.

[RandyatBBY]

I guess that we are not used to that much sun with out sweting to death. I had to leave early becuse Jose was too tired to sit on the rocks and play with his truck. Did not feel it untill about 8:30PM then I realy went down hill. Had a good night sleep though.:-)

[PaloAltoK5]

Now, I just need to strip my axels down and find out what broke in the super.....and then finish my scale chassis for the TLT!!

Congrats to Sam for pulling away with another win! Damn he just makes it look to easy! And congrats to Daniel for pulling a win in both the Advanced 2.2 and Super class.

I had a great time, the courses were extremely fun and challenging. Love the bridges Dean!

That camera was worth every penny! A fast camera makes it so much more enjoyable to take pics.

for my truck the first time on rocks it did surprisingly well except before i took the rear tire and bumper off it killed me on the first corse and the 45 lathe didnt help either

broken out drive stripped a pinion and some scrapes and sunburn later it was well woth it

all though on the way home i fell asleep most the time and brandon was laghing at me

but my truck did great on the trail ride i was following dean and same and badger most of the time threw evrything

and the orcrc boy had a nice truck with the lifting of the rear it was a change in pace that for sure

and thanks to dean and i think it was half cab for the pointers on getting my truck to perform way better see you all next time

[halfcab]

That is definately true, Dean is the bruiser man, he can make any bruiser preform miracles, he re-made and re-worked mine for me and it is awesome. Great pics guys, looks like the Bean was good to all of you. Dean, great job on the wood bridges, and tough course layout, looks like they were some very tough obstacle's! Sam , congrats, but really? was anyone surprised? You are bound to be at the top of the list at nat's.

Speaking of pics, while I was using your camera also, George(?) and I managed to get another 190 pics with my DSC t-9 that came out great....but nowhere to post them.....ideas badger?

[halfcab]

k5, sign up on the nor-calrcrc and put them up over there, badger can set you up , by the way, a kid at work has a line on a set of 60's for about $900, but they are out of a dodge but then again 60's are 60's and that is a f/r set 9 bills for the pair

I just created your "PaloAltoK5" account on the Nor-Cal gallery site. You should receive an email with instuctions on how to change your passwd.

Before you upload your pics, please go through them and delete any poor shots and then web optimize the pics to save on disk space and bandwidth.

I create a album for the event in the "Nor-CalRCRC Crawling Pictures" area. You will be able to upload your pics to the event that you took the pics at.

Thanks.
