I met Tom this weekend and I thought the location of the second spot would be better for you pu$$i..I mean for the older gentlemen in our club.

Go with the second one Tom...no doubt. It has easy access and is close to the Post Office we are meeting at.

Plus...I can ride my Harley 'cause I won't need my truck to get in there!

You should bend them into high clearance links first...then trim the straight end to get your WB.

It is right past the Challenger Racetrack. You will see signs for it...turn onto that road and you are minutes away.

Hey,I like that, pretty close to what i built, look at the pics from the gtg at pike island damn wwva, mines the green tube frame buggy slash alum chassis. mine kept torqueing it self out of square , added some chassis stifner tubes ( from the tlt kit) where the links bolt on , no more problem. I like the looks of the imex tires, they any good on traction ?

All T's are great tread but they have terrible rubber. You may want to put them on a drill and run them on sandpaper to soften them up. I am going to do that this week on "Rusty".

Tom, the first spot is too far for the club to walk. It would be much tougher than the walk at Apollo since it has more uphill stuff. (Tom showed me the spot so I've seen it.)

The only way the first spot will work is if a couple of us load up our trucks and haul everyone and their stuff in there.

The second spot is much easier and closer to the road...just what everyone is looking for.

Let me know which way we decide to go on this. I was going to ride the bike, but will bring my truck if we are going to need it.

Man,
That was like one of those IMAX videos. I think I am getting dizzy. That is a long haul with out some type of motorized vehicle.

If the other one is closer then let's do that one. We need to nail this down because we may be having a guest appearance Sunday. Are we going to keep it at the first one then?

If so, Tom or Mike, please give us directions from the first main road like Rt 22 or something like that.

Thanks
John
