Joey and I will be leaving here about 10 or 11AM. So we will be there about 3 or so.

We will be there tommorow.Tommorow night.
If Kamikaze actually had all his trucks together I would try to get him to leave early in the morn and take the toyota to telico for the day.
Is Telico open now?

Hey Jeff you are suppose to be nice to the judges b4 the comp....I think the way I read the new rules every time you engage dig it's a reverse right

hey dumb question, scanning through pics or video of midwest 2.2 challange... I noticed the rigs were lined up up side down on their lids, and looked as if someone were teching them. Can someone confirm if this method is used for teching or not, I was only aware that it had to be a 12.5" wb supporting the full weight of the truck (on it's wheels) mine is a little less than 12.5 on it's wheels, but upside down the weight of the wheels, motors, axles etc... compress all four shocks enough to make it go past 12.5", all four shocks fully compressed is not a scenerio that you would see on the rocks, so it would not go past 12.5" while crawling. Just asking, if so I gotta do some major work tonight

They are not suppose to be releasing the water sat..But with all this damn rain we've had the levels may be up some..You could do some super stuff on that side but everyone would have to walk back and forth over the bridge I think....

No it is on its wheels supporting its own weight I think the reason all the trucks were upside down @ that comp is so there tires would'nt stick to the floor

The reason for the upside down rigs at mid west was to keep the glued tires off the ground.
As for tech just make sure it is not over 12.5 when you sit it on all 4's and after you compress and let go of the rig I would say they will check at what ever the settled ride height is.I would also say they may check randomly during the day.

Also, so the tires dont flat spot. But the glued to the floor thing sucked too.
